I'm new to this forum; found my way here by searching for options to boost my JCW Coupe over 250 hp. I read the thread on boosting the R56 here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

and I want to know whether or not this is an option for the Coupe. I can find the ATP flange adapter but not the actual kit. Am I out of luck? Is there no way for me to get significantly more hp/torque from my motor? I have a stock setup which is reported to produce 208 hp/192 ft-lbs torque.

Coupe is just a different body, anything engine related should be comparable to the hatch or clubman etc ..... can't see why any of the often mentioned tuning companies can't do exactly the same performance increase to your car.

That's exactly what I was thinking but then it makes me wonder why the kits are offered for R56 but not R58s. It *could* be that the website operator is not savvy enough to know that it's all the same; it could also be that the website operator expects me to know that it's all the same. :-)

Thanks for the sanity check. :-)
