I'd believe 7. But 20? From software? Under warranty? By MINI/BMW? C'mon! I can't wait to see THAT independently dynoed. Most JCWs don't make 200hp to begin with when dynoed independently.</p> Puh-Lease. 10-20? I'd believe 7. But 20? From software? Under warranty? By MINI/BMW? C'mon!

My Mini is schedlued for production soon and I am going to try and see if I can have the JCW kit installed when my Mini arrives. I am traveling from Denver to Indy to pick it up so it would be a bummer if I had to go back to have it installed then. Thanks!!</p> Gabe,

That'd mean the JCWv2 addon HP kit would hopefully have a large cold air induction kit, respec'd ECU, and ??.

Then you could become a JCWv2+S (suspension)for £850 on top of the 500$US add-on!

So three kits over all!?! MC, MCS JCWv2, and MCS JCWv2+S!

Seize the moment!

A 20hp gain along with a bit more torque would be very nice. If the weight of options is kept down, this version might be able to play in the same sand box as the R32, S2000, Evo/Sti.</p> Does anyone know what the difference between the 04 and 05 is?

But then, things could be worse. Maybe I'll just leave it with the dealer until the 05 kits arrive.</p> I'm happy to read about an upgrade in hp for 05, but disappointed by the wait…meaning, I don't want to drive the car for two months without the upgrade.
