Hi Guys,
Back at home my 03 MCS's exhaust system got damaged (i dont know how or what caused it) and since my warranty is over, i decided to to mod it for more power rather than replacing stock parts
I placed an order on the parts listed below, and expecting them to arrive some time soon.
Please share your opinions or comments on the parts and/or the setup.. feel free to suggest more parts, as i am still horsepower hungry, while maintaining relatively stock reliability..

-Webbmotorsports high induction box
-Webbmotorsports 15% supercharger pulley
-Denso iridium spark plugs
-Miltek catback exhaust
-Miltek Header with race quality Cat

**i am aware that i should get an ECU upgrade, but since there arnt many qualified tuners in my country, i will leave the ECU till the very end..

Thanks in advance

Hey GIII,

Good choice of mods, they all make sense in that they are definatley the first
tuning mods that should be done to an S! Also they will compliment each
other very well

Are you aware that you could get a Bluefin sent to you with the appropriate
map to suit your new mods? See the sponsored directory as there are at
least 3 companies in there that could supply you with one.

Cannot comment on the Bluefin but as for your other mods, your cooper s
will be transformed

you will have amazing sounds coming from front
and back, more SC whine and WAY more exhaust noise, and popping!!

Enjoy!!

Glll, I think that mod list should be good enough... unless you are craving for more power later.. good luck!

I have similar mods on my silver car except for the header, I just had my friend reset the ECU at the dealer to "as installed" state. It is smooth as butter without software. Although, I have been considering it...

GIII · May 20th, 2006, 06:17 AM

Hartge, ScottishcooperS, and PARTSMAN109 thanks for the input.. cant wait to get the mods.. and YES Hartge, i am craving more power, but not yet..
My next mods are a throttle body, and the ECU..

Guys, my concern is, since my country's grade fuel is quite low, i think having a tuned ECU would cause a bit of a headache.. No one i know gave me a definate answer on what the grade fuel is.. but the assumption is 89...
Do you guys think that i can find a map for 89 grade fuel?
Also, what are your thoughts regarding the next mods ( Throttle body and ECU)
Thank you, i appreciate your feedback

Thank you

Thank you for the kind words and advice. I will look into it..
I am having a difficulty finding out what the grade fuel in my country is. Once i do (and assuming that im not broke), il call up the guys at webbmotorsports for a map.
But any idea how i can find out what the grade fuel is?
Thanks again
