I am very new to MINIs, so thank you for your patience. I have spent the last several days reading through this site and performing searches within the forums as well as on the web but still need a little help.
I will be buying a 2005 MCS and absolutely want to install a smaller pulley increase the blower's boost. I am trying to understand the differences in performance and overall effect of combining the the pulley change with an ECU upgrade.
1. As I understand it, an ECU change is NOT required with a pulley change. It this true?
2. If so, what are the negative aspects of leaving the stock programming with the new pulley?
3. Finally, any suggestions on tuners in the Los Angeles/ Orange County areas to perform the pulley change? (I am fairly mechanical, but have never performed a pulley change and don't want to feck up.)
Thank you very much. This forum has been very educational.
