The JCW kit will be introduced in the Fall. No aftermarket solutions as yet. Tuning this engine will be quite a challenge. Lots of technology to deal with.

Thanks. I asked my dealer for precise info on CV gain and price but he had no clues.

We'll see...

I can't say where to find it, BUT there are some REALLY good numbers coming out of a certain ECU product for the R56. With other airflow mods expect to see 260 W TRQ and 235 W HP.

Happy hunting!

Maybe you can't say it, but I can. Alta has released a piggyback upgrade using the UniChip.

Damn, not waiting until Q3 of 2008. And I'm sure it'd be a lot of dough.
I'll just go aftermarket, I suppose.

Hope to order one next week when I'm back home.

Do you really need more horsies in it? Maybe just add an JCW airfilter, ECU upgrade and Millteks.
Or go crazy and TT it!
