Pre-facelift ECU with tune available

I have a pre-facelift ECU from my 2004 Mini Cooper S that has a Dinan Stage 1 tune. This tune increased the stock 163hp to 175hp. It's a simple plug & play for anyone looking for a few extra horses (based on a stock configuration). I've modded my Mini now and I'm willing to let this ECU go for $100 if there's interest out there. That's cheap for a 12hp gain. Anyone?

I might be interested. Are you sure it doesn't need to be matched to the car in some way? I have been procrastinating on doing the WMW quicktune. Any combination of mods the Dinan tune needs to work best? I currently have a 15% pulley, cat back exhaust, alta intake with K and N filter.

I'm also interested with the same concern.

you need the keys, ignition tumbler, ecu, and ews modules from the donor car, it wont work without all of them in a set. You will also have vin missmatches with the other modules like the DSC and BC, and the miles will no longer match the kombi (dash)

my car remotes are unreliable, I would also want the door tumblers

My bad. Didn't think about the keys. Never mind.
