Lagamorph mate, if i were you, i'd go FMIC, 3" exhaust, and change my headers for some GT spec ones. 20G's a big turbo and the tubular headers would help it breath better, and although the TMIC is supposed to be good for 400, any car will make more power, when fitted with a FMIC.
If i remember correctly you chose ported headers over tubular as you wanted good spool over power, but there is minimal spool difference between them.

I want to try and keep it looking standard so will keep the top mount. Have always wondered if i should have gone tubular though so i may rectify that this year. not interested in clearing 400bhp though as I wouldn't trust it as a daily runner to get me to work everyday lol. got a bit of a debate with the air box though..... told by RCM to ditch the airbox but have been told by plenty of others to keep it 
Yeah, yeah
Always been a fan of the classic mini but never warmed to the new one. Test drove a worx Convertible after getting rid of my last scoob but just didnt enjoy the drive. oh that and only women can pull off driving one.... bit like audi TT's.

Fair enough if you want to keep the top mount mate, but the headers should be a deffo. If you're gonna replace the airbox, which would be beneficial at your level, i'd go for cold air induction kit in the wing rather than a short ram one in the bay which sucks in hot air. although you could run a short ram and heat shield in some way.

Lads they might be good cars. But be honest the hardtop version is always better. H has pointed out the car looks better as a hardtop. Put the convertible next to it and you know the version you will jump into the lighter hardtop version.
But hey thats just my preference. If I did pull up at the lights next to you I wouldn't be able to help myself and would probably call you a hair dresser lmaooooo
The above comment is not directed at anyone in particular and it is a joke. loooooool
Haven't been in the last week or so but they were open about 2 weeks ago. A mate of mine needed a service doing.
