Anyone here got a Mini with high bhp after tuning?

I am talking anything over 220 bhp. How did you achieve the power gain?

Thanx.

BBR said best way is a modified cylinder head and remap.
25 bhp extra.

Over four thousand pounds!

OK, he suggested their stage 2 tune, about 25 bhp more for under £2K inc. vat, fitted.

Right, thinking in terms of safe changes now guys.

What about a full, de-cat exhaust and aftermarket air filter element as a mild bhp hike?
As in, exhaust ports backwards, the lot!
