P-Torque Tuning or upgrade to Cooper S?

Having had a bit of taste of a Clubman Cooper S, I cannot stop myself missing that extra power in my current Clubman. I love its looks and would find it hard to part with it!

So I have been looking at a few tuning options. I called Will at P-Torque, and with chiptuning, air induct kit and cat back exhaust I would achieve an extra 10bhp - not much, but something.

The alternative is that I exchange and upgrade my Clubman Cooper to a Clubman Cooper S. I realise this would give me much more bhp. Buying one from new would break the bank too much so I would need to look around for a used one that takes my fancy.

Has anyone had the same dilemma? What experience is out there around giving a Cooper the P-Torque treatment? I am looking for some guidance to help me decide....

Tony

I would just buy the Clubman S. You will never be happy till you have the power you've experience and a Clubman with around 130Bhp is hardly going to compare with the S. A turbo or Supercharged car is a whole different kettle of fish to N/A engines whether they have the same Bhp or not. It puts a smile on your face, and if thats what you want i say go for it.
