Engine difference between JCW and GP?

Hi

Could anyone tell me the differences (engine wise only) between a R53 JCW (facelift) and a GP?
I know the JCW is 210bhp and the GP is 218 - but where does the 8bhp come from?

Thanks

Just bought a Mini Cooper S !!

I would have thought a search would have turned this up...

Slightly (two rows) larger Intercooler and an ECU change are the only differences in terms of the engine as far as I understand...

Running 211whp

Bigger Intercooler, intercooler cover & flow plate, and ECU map are the only engine differences.
