LOL, Rob, you know me too well. I'm already scoping out a pulley and a CAI for it. The parts are pretty reasonable too. I just have to read up on them and see what's best and why. There seems to be a lot of competition between vendors. I haven't looked that hard and I've already found four different pulleys - ranging from $75 to $140.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find ECU tuning gear for less than $600, and it wouldn't make sense to put a CAI and pulley on it without tuning it too.

Oh yeah, it's a 2005 Mini Cooper S - which all the sites refer to as an R53 which seems to be a model code or platform code.
