Also my MINI is an automatic which I believe means there is an extra wire near where the intake system sits and may be more of a problem for fitting.

I can answer this one! I have a 2006 MCSa, and I did my CAI last weekend. I bought the Mini Madness CAI, since it also had an open cowl option to help funnel colder air from the vents vs the engine compartment. Instructions were clean and easy to follow; taking my time, it took about 30 minutes.

I noticed a difference right away; smoother gearing, and a nice growl from the supercharger. If you check my Gallery on NAM (motionmonk), you'll see some of the mods I've done.

Good luck!

I'm not speeding. I'm feeding my supercharger.
