  1. Hey everyone.

     

    I'm interested in some performance mods, and after reading several forums on NAM, I have some questions for any DCMM members that have tuning experience.

     

    I currently have a catback exhaust (Invidia Q300) and am looking to add a few more performance mods. There seems to be a lot of debate about the benefits of an intake on the n14 engine. It seems like a cool mod, but I understand that it doesn't add much for performance, more like a cool way to hear more noise from the BOV and to add some flair to your engine bay.

     

    Is it possible to add the JCW intake to the n14 engine? Any benefit to this? I'm ultimately looking for bang for buck, not just cool looks.

     

    Anyone have experience with the NM Engineering ECU Tuning? $500 and approx 25-30 hp gains and 30-35 ft lbs gain on stock engine seems like a better choice than an intake that just adds noise and a debatable small hp gain.

     

    Lastly, anyone have tuning experiences with our local vendors? I've heard a few folks have gone to P-Tuning in Manassass with some good experiences. Again, looking for bang for buck with a few mods. Not looking to go over the top and spend a fortune. Our MINIs are already pretty RAD! Just interested in unlocking some of the performance that is hiding in my engine bay.

     

    Thanks! :rock:

  2. Greetings. I met you a few weeks back at the Sterling Mini dealer DC Metro Minis meet and greet. I was the guy with the 2 kids and the 2009 Mellow Yellow R56.

     

    Thanks for showing me your car, which BTW was badass!

     

    I'm interested in the exhaust you are selling. Is it still available? Is this the entire Invidia q300 cat-back exhaust system for the R56? Does it include all necessary hardware and gaskets?

     

    Thanks!
