Default Performance Chip

Has anyone installed a chip in their mini? If so what kind and how do you like it. I have an 06-S Convert. Thanks

With the 06 S, the best bank for buck is a smaller supercharger pulley to spin the supercharger faster and make more boost thus more power and torque. This mod will get you 20'ish HP with nothing else done. Tuning on the 06 S via a "chip" will not gain much at all as the OEM computer will compensate for the mods you throw at it.
