JCW Intake/Injector/ECU Upgrade?

Has anyone had this fitted to their pre-05 Works S yet? Initial impressions?

Ready for the US market?

The Dallas/FtWorth area Mini dealers do not have a part number at this time. Does anyone have it? I intend on adding the JCW upgrade even though the gains may be more a matter of throttle response & marginal upper-end power (I currently have Dinan intake w/ my JCW.) It looks like Dinan and maybe also JCW will be repackaging the 320mm. Brembo big brake kit a $$ upgrade. Seems a bit odd to me: brand identity marketing ploy (but then again I already have the Brembo brakes on my car so some may call me a label slave.)

Found one of these kits at a local dealer (only one in stock) and gave them my card number to reserve it. I'm going to have it installed at the 10k service in a couple of weeks. Will report back.
