I'm not sure if this is normal (need to do a bit more research here) The up-shift fart noises are louder now (even on 1/4 throttle). This is how it should've come from factory. Like others before me have mentioned, a tune wakes up the Cooper S. 70kmh to 130kmh zips by in an instant, and you really need long empty stretches of road to safely test and enjoy the bump in performance. I felt a noticeable increase in torque from the reliable "butt dyno", this nugget pulls hard from mid range all the way to the top now (used to run out of puff before). 30 mins later I pulled into the garage with a sore face (couldn't stop smiling). 10 seconds later and I was hooting and cackling. Within half a second of mashing the gas pedal, the grin appeared to be painfully wider than normal. I must admit I was sceptical and wasn't expecting much. A few Kms later - "Race" mode was activated via the App and "Sport" driving mode selected in the Mini. With the installation complete, I went on a sedate drive to warm her up. Installation took less than 10 mins from start to finish. Our lil nugget is a 2014 MCS Auto (bone stock engine - 50,000 kms). But then a piggyback tune came up for sale (used) at a very irresistible price and I felt obligated to try it out just for a laugh. This happened out of the blue as I wasn't really looking to mod my wife's car.
