Ironic...I tried to sell mine after totalling my 2011 JCW and there were no takers, so I packed it away with stuff in a box somewhere, and put it in storage in my parents empty basement since I moved out of state.
Now I picked up a 2012 JCW coupe w/ the N14 and it supposedly works on it. I just have to get to my folks house and look for it in their basement now. Can't go till August though :(

Yea, i went back to stock while waiting for the tow truck since it was going to the dealers bodyshop. I kept the AP in the car at all times, just in case of a situation like that.

Alta used to have some info on their website but all that has been taken down. I don't know if anyone on here made it to stage 3 before blowing up their engine. I didn't even make it to a full stage 2 as I refuse to remove the cat and replace the exhaust system; as I think the factory JCW exhaust sound is awesome. And I ran into what seems like too much boost running the Stage 1 with IC map. Honestly, I'm now running the factory tune again to save the engine since my JCW seems to be burning a lot of oil given the current mileage on the engine. I probably need to check the oil level again now that I think about it!

Although hearing that engine are dropping, doesn't make me feel very good about the tune.
I'd take it for a custom tune but apparently everyone who bought the Cobb MINI software has decided to vanish from the earth.

I do love the Stage 1 w/ intercooler and 93 octane. That's the whole reason I'm removing the cats and doing the downpipe and exhaust. I can only imagine what Stage 3 is like!

If you have the H520B or H810B software, I can send you either a 91 or 92 octane map. I still have all 3 stages available from my original install 4 years ago. I never used any of them --- went straight to a dyno tune. Or, maybe you can call ZipTie Dynowerks in the Salt Lake City area, and ask them to change the map number to match your software --- they still do AP dyno tunes --- at least they did last year. Send me a PM if you're interested.
A trip out West wouldn't be bad. I could catch up with a buddy of mine who lives in that area. Hmmmmm
