DIY tuning a mini

hi all,

im new to this site so bare with me.

i currently own a citroen c2 vts running at 160bhp, however im shortly trading this in for a mini cooper s, im not a fan of standard so im hoping to tune the mini up to 200bhp plus within the first month or so of owning the car.

i was hoping you guys would be able to shed some light on tuning companies, chips, supercharger enhancement etc. cost you pleawe let me know about the costs of these mods to

i already have a milltek exhaust to fit and some matt black pro race 1.2s on toyos, just needing to know good, reliable mini tuning comapanies.

any help would be really appriciated,

lewis

I'd reccomend either lohen or gtt tunning who are both site sponsours they both do similar packages but it all depends on your location. But either will be very helpful with the info you require

Lohnen is the closest of the 2 for you near stoke they both do delivery of parts if your handy with a spanner so induction kits intercoolers and the likes aren't are problem but for supercharger enhancement (smaller pulley) i'd reccomend gettin them to do it which is pretty much a day out for you

ive got a cuz that lives in lichfeild, is that anywhere close to lohen ?

i think im going to go for the 210bhp pakage from lohen, i like the way theyve posted the dyno on the site, makes it genuine.

thanks so much for the help guys
