First day impressions
Just got the AP and tried out a couple of tunes from Jeff today. Ohhh the torque!!! I'm still grinning from my commute home from work. The difference in performance from the stock tune is dramatic. I'm an engineer and I love the ability to monitor all sorts of data with the AccessPORT. My boost with the stock tune was peaking at about 11.5PSI. With the stage 1 tune tweaked for my upgraded FMIC (Helix stepped core), I'm seeing up to 18.6psi peak boost. The car pulls like crazy through the mid-RPM's. The tunes I tried today had slightly different throttle response. The "GB02B tps" version with the "super linear" throttle response in sport mode comes on much stronger than the linear response with sport mode disabled but felt very smooth. With the "GB02B" tune in sport mode, the torque seemed to come on more quickly with a frenzied feel that's awesome. They seem to have dialed down the intervention of the launch control enabling a faster launch with a little more tire chirp. I'm in CA where we've only got 91 octane available. Since they are still finalizing the 91 octane maps, Jeff sent me the >92 octane maps to use with an octane booster for a few weeks until the 91 octane tunes are ready. Can't wait to drive to work tomorrow

Finished my first full talk of gas with the Alta tune. Worst gas mileage I've ever had - 27.5 mpg. I attribute it to my newly "re"-found lead foot. Once that has calmed down I expect to be back at or higher than my previous 31-33 mpg I had been getting.
I am sure the linear throttle is worth at least 1-2 mpg all by itself.

Just popping in to say THANK YOU to those that have already taken the plunge into the ALTA AccessPORT "kool-aid" and are enjoying the sugary goodness!
Really nice to read all the positive and honest feedback. Genuinely helps the whole group!
As always, If I or anyone else here can help with any pre- or post- purchase questions, shoot em our way.
Also, Jeff will pop in here shortly to address some of the questions and mapping comments as well.
Thank you all again!

Hi Adam,
do you know if you can continue to offer the introductory offer $795 when you guys have cooper s automatic mapping . I'm thinking of getting it for my 10' mcsa r56.

i just tried the AP on my '09 JCW
Alta, i just tested my new AP. can i return it? it makes TOO much power. lol.
my feelings on the AP mirror motormouth's. we have the same car, 09 JCW, FMIC and live in the same place.
thank you Alta! i can't wipe the grin off of my face. the AP is fantastic. i couldn't be happier with the results. and i'm coming from a RMW tune.
as others have said, the pull through midrange is huge.
a DoS CAI will round out my power mods.

YES! If I'm reading that last post correctly it looks like I'm spending some cash this weekend on my automatic!
How (not in technical terms) did you correct the CEL issues with the auto? Meaning is it no longer an issue or do they still exist and the Accessport is just some how ignoring them?
I only ask because I own a 2010 and will bring it in for service. I'm assuming reflashing back to stock kills the evidence of the CELs existence?

HI Harry! I knew you were gonna love it. Glad you've started posting!
folks - Harry has been talking with me IRL about his mods he's doing. He is doing a ton of stuff to his MINI. It's almost like he's getting it ready for 90% track time!
