The Mini’s up to 2006 can be programmed via obd2 and on the bench. From 2007 onwards, these vehicles can only be bench flashed due to the encryption. For customers with the Mini Turbo, we also recommend replacing the front mount intercooler. As with all cars, we do not recommend using a cone filter which is exposed in the engine bay. With the doors closed, these cold air intakes become hot air intakes.
