Drivetrain The Always Up-to-Date Thread on Tuning 2011+ (N18) MINIs

The Ak Delete R does work to remove the CEL 99% of the time. The other 1% comprises of the CEL showing up for 4-5 miles, then clearing. For some reason, it usually happens for me every two or three weeks on a Sunday after midnight (driving home from work). I can live with that. Actually.... I DO live with that!

Forgive me if I'm being a complete moron, but it appears to me that Evolve has a tune that we can do from home (I'm assuming without having to ship off our ECU's).
It's possible that I'm overlooking something, but the website seems to be suggesting that one could plug in their computer to their ECU with a cable provided by Evolve, and then after emailing your car's codes to them, they send you your new codes.
Someone please correct me if I'm misunderstanding this.

Oh yes. You're absolutely right. I completely forgot.

My question is, for the NM tune. If I have a downpipe, which I will be getting, should my DP be catted or the cat delete because I thought for their stage two tune, they can't because of emissions? Maybe I misread or misunderstood the concept. If someone could please enlighten me. So my question is pretty much, I am going with a Riss Racing catless DP, keeping 2nd cat, and magnaflow muffler, would NM be able to produce the power from that system for me? Because I want to be able to squeeze out as much as I can. Thank you!

Whoa! Don't look to me for advice! I'm just saying what I'm doing. I'm in no way an expert. Many others on NAM who know the why's and what-fors. My idea before getting a tune was to open up my intake and exhaust as much as I could. I've been told that it isn't a bad plan. That's why I went with the exhaust setup that I have.

Hey guys, I installed an Evolve Catless Downpipe two days after Christmas on my 2012 MCS (N18)... I started a small thread a little while back and I've just written a small elaboration on some research I did pertaining to CEL's, Trouble Codes, and the O2 Spacer technique...

Sorry guys I'm new to mini's. I'm looking to purchase an AEM intake, exhaust work, and maybe a couple other bolt ons. I live in Florida and was wondering if there were any tuners in the Palm Beach area with a dyno. With my Honda I had Hondata but from glancing at the thread mini's aren't chipping the computer or using a stand alone computer(correct me if I'm wrong).
