Three recommendations for you:

1. Steve's Auto Clinic
16205 Nordhoff Street
North Hills, Ca 91343
818-891-6109

2. MINICORSA
14412 Victory Unit B (Near Van Nuys Blvd)
Van Nuys, CA 91401
818-994-0338
danny@minicorsa.com
www.minicorsa.com
Danny is very quick and has some awesome deals.

These two are the closest to you for your 1 stop shopping and installs.
Both know Emil who operates VitessePro tuning company for your ECU remapping.

I also highly recommend Scott McIntryre at Central Coast Coopers:
Central Coast Coopers
1275 Calle Pimiento
Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
805.487.4748
Toll Free Order Line: 877.855.MINI

Scott is a good guy and he can give you his opinion on products such as MTH, Unichip, and other ECU software remaps.

Best of luck.... modding is a slippery slope!

Happy motoring,
Lex

Steve doesn't do any ECU Remapping, and i've always ended up spending the whole day there when I have something simple to get done.

Danny at MiniCorsa is a stand up guy, and he'll get your car down in actual time, no waiting around required . Danny works with Jan from Revolution MINI for tunes. His prices are unbeatable as well.

Your sig says that you own an 07 (Looks like an 06 to me in the picture), yet you mention a Pulley. If you have an 07 there is no pulley, it's turbocharged. Really all you can do right now are springs, intake, and exhaust...

I want to get some tuning done on my 09 Clubman S (brake kit, CAI, exhaust, ECU remapping). Any suggestions for a good place not too far from north county san diego? I'm willing to drive a ways but would rather not have to overnight it (I'm not looking to get it all done at once).
