I know this is a hard question, but I am ordering a Cooper S and am considering a few options for tuning (S Works or Mini Mania Stage II Kit). I am not concerned about the cost, but after reading the posts on the current Tritec Engine, I am concerned about the following:

(1) The longetivity of the Tritec Engine
(2) The long term effect on the engine from tuning (supercharger pulley, etc)

Any insight would help since my main concern about the Mini Cooper at this point is the current engine. I have heard many Rumors regarding the BMW/Peugot replacement in 2006 or 2007.

Thanks,

Dave-
