Goonery,

Thanks! That's the answer I was looking for

The MINI Yaletown site I was directed to earlier states:
For those people that already have the JCW tuning kit installed, there is an upgrade kit available that includes the larger fuel injectors, air intake and the upgraded ECU software, takes you from 200hp > 210hp - cost $850 installed
And, as I said in my post, I do NOT have JCW already...

So, I can get the JCW airbox/intake, but for the injectors et al will need the entire package.... Better start saving my pennies, then

I am doing this "piecemeal" - I will be fitting a used JCW exhaust w/low miles ($500)
and used JCW wheels w/low miles ($1000 plus cost of new non-RFs), and plan to do the JCW intake. So, if my math is correct, I can expect maybe 8- 10 HP more than what I have?

Obviously, I am not as much after the power-per-dollar ratio as I am keeping the car as OEM as possible, and adding nice (to me, anyway) wheels and boosting my HP a bit while enjoying a nicer SC whine!!! It all sounds good to me

2005 MCSC JCW CAI, JCW exhaust, Webb-installed Alta 15% pulley, JCW strut brace, Whalen...and still modding!
