Intercooler Piping

I have everything done to my car that I want done for the time being, and I am looking to tune asap. I have upgraded my full exhaust, my turbo to the JCW, and a forge stepped fmic. I just ordered the Alta hot side pipe and I was curious if I needed anything else. I'm not looking to boost TOO crazy so I'm just compiling my list before this tune.

Any tips suggestions or preferred parts I grab would be appreciated.

NM charge pipe necessary?

Thanks guys!

Justin

Depending on if you have the noise maker or not. If you do have the noise maker I would remove it as it just bleeds off boost to activate it. If you don't have a noise maker save your money and use it as is. If you want to get rid of the noise maker we have the most cost effective option with our noise maker delete pipe that fits the stock location, but removes it.

For the hot side check out our res delete pipe it is much more cost effective and always fits right.

A set of performance cams would be nice too before you tune

Well the noisemaker sounds like a good idea for the cold side. I'm not in the budget for cams anytime soon but my cars rode for too long to not get the tune done asap. I was looking into getting the remote from you guys actually.

Hello Justin! Are you only looking to do only engine modifications? I usually work from the ground up and focus on suspension as well. I'd suggestion a good rear sway bar, a good set of coil overs like ST Coils, and the Hotchkis rear adjustable control arms. Those all compliment each other well to help keep your MINI planted with all the engine mods. Maybe consider these as your next step. If you have questions let me know!
