| Blufin on a ONE is certainly the way to go, but on a Cooper I'm not so sure. My reasons being.
- When anyone starts a thread about chipping a Cooper and Blufin is mentioned there a loads of responses from those with Blufinned ONE's, but Cooper drivers seem far more scarce.
- Not sure how much you realistically gain, the 130 bhp figure is misleading. The ONE gets a big kick in the pants from the Blufin, but look at the power curves for the Cooper and it appears that Blufin only added 8bhp to the Superchips car, (it was originally 123bhp, and rose to 131). Is that 8 bhp really noticable?
I don't mean this to be a negative post, more of playing devils advocate, and trying to tempt all those people driving Blufinned Coopers out into the open.
As for Pro's and cons I would say the following. Pro's more power obviously (8 bhp), removable, Good reputation and backed by Superchips warranty (but only if you have no other mods!). The cons might be more engine wear I guess. There is also the question of clutch and how the old Midland box in your car will cope with the extra power, and the way your driving will change once you have the extra go. There are many many members driving MINI's with Blufin without any problems, and should I choose to go the chip route it is probably the product I would choose. You may also want to look at the MTH, and AMD options.
Good luck with whichever modding route you take Steve.
