Chip Upgrade On A Normally Aspirated Mini

[Tom Brearley]

Hi, I own a 2010 Mini One Cabriolet and was simply wondering if 'chipping' it would make much difference to the performance? as it is a Mini One and therefore is normally aspirated, I wondered if it would make much difference? Wonder if there's anyone out there who has done it and can give me some info.

Many thanks, Tom.

Hmmm I may be wrong but I don't think many people would have tampered with the performance of the MINI ONE too much as it's not much of a performer. As I said, may be wrong :) there are a few MINI nuts here so watch this space!!

Hi, I'm new here but thought I would stick my nose in! I have a Mini one cabrio coming in the next few weeks. When I ordered it I had spoken to the salesmen and a mechanic friend that works at a Dealership. I was told that both the Mini one and the cooper have the same engine, except the One has been De-tuned. The result being the chip will (so I'm told) bring the Bhp up to the level of the cooper. I am going to find out at some point so if anybody else has had it done.

Also as the engines are the same, I am wondering if it would be a possibility of changing the Engine management system? Any ideas?

As above...

The One is a Cooper without a map....that's the only difference mechanical wise
