I am interested to know which tuning kit for the MCS people think is the best. Not from a cost or value for money point of view but purely from a driving point of view. I know there are more powerful kits available but i want to compare the JCW kit with it's aftermarket alternatives, and find out which one enhances a MCS the most.

Laudable as it is, your poll will engender nothing but opinions and biased at that. I doubt a JCW owner would vote for a BBR or vice versa. me thinks your quest will not find an answer.

also your list of options includes minisport that include a chargecooler for their 220 upgrade unlike the others (with the exception of JCW210) which are just chip and pulley. Personally i would choose the BBR but thats because i have one and i know its good, ive tried JCW and minisport and personally i don't think theyre for me. However, my advice to you is whoever you pick stick with them. Don't buy from one and upgrade from another, i've tried it and all that has happened is neither will support the upgrades as another tuner has interfered. You will no doubt want more than 220bhp in the future so look at who does the best upgrades longterm. Also consider what your car may be worth when the time comes to sell it. Only one upgrade will add value to your car (JCW), the rest are likely to depreciate it.

Oh joy another can of worms
