Hi there,

I live in the UAE and own a Feb/07 Cooper S.
I recently installed a DDM Works intake (which really opened up the car in terms of power above 4,000 rpm)
While doing the install, I could not find the Mass Air Flow which was in the pic, which really confused me...... Is this offered only on the cars in the US or??
The guys at DDM offered to fabricate a piece to substitute this missing MAF, but I managed to get a piece of aluminum piping locally which did the job.

I am wondering how will this affect any computer upgrades in the future..

Best Regards,

 

I believe 99% sure, the non-US mini's dont have the MAF sensor, your exhaust is also different I believe, no muffler at the end!

 

Yup, I think it isn only hte US (maybe canada too?) that has the MAF. The biggest thing that it will affect for performance parts is you can't use ALTA's ECU chip.

 

I think that I would have to search and see which countries (other than the US) have the MAF sensor. I will also need to get some under carriage shots of the exhausts for comparison also. Will try to get some in the next couple of days.
