I had posted the following as a reply under a different "Beneath the Bonnet" topic, but I think it deserves it's own...

Audi Performance & Racing
they currently make high quality performance parts for Audis & VWs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just sent an email to APR asking if they might consider offering ECU upgrades for MINI...

We should be able to convince them that there is serious demand!

My thinking is that if 1 in 100? VW owners are buying ECU upgrades, for us MINI owners it should be more like 1 in 10 (or more) that would buy it! :smile:

You can send them an email at apr@goapr.com

They replied that they are not currently planning to do MINIs... but maybe in the Future???

This was the reply I received :

John, we do not have a plan to develop tuning for the Mini at this time. It
may be something we do sometime in the future but I have no definite plans
for this. I apologize for the inconvenience. Let me know if you have any
other questions. Thanks. Jeremy Auvil

Dave....You can add "mc.natt" to that list...I just talked to him and he says he's in, too.....

 

If they can offer a cheaper alternative than a $750 re-flash then I am DEFINITELY on board!
