Has anyone had this done yet?
Any feedback on results? I'm thinking of doing a one-time Green Twister Intake, Nology wires, and the ECU upgrade- total of $850 for all. I'm interested in hearing about any of these mods, mainly in seat-of-the-pants driving experience. Add the sway bar, it comes to over $1000. Not much to do to a Cooper after that. Not cheap, but all in all, these mods would come close to making a MINI Cooper all that it can be. The only problem I can imagine is that the ECU mod would void the warranty, yes??

I'd wait until Evotech's chip is able to address a pulley upgrade for the supercharger. I undestand that a new chip should be out by summer. Good luck! Otherwise, why bother!
