Default ALTA ECU

ok...so recently i decided that i wanted to chip my mini. ALTA and Unichip have collaborated and in the process of designing a chip for the R53. I just wanted to know how much strain the supercharger can take. I dont want to install this chip, and have something go terribly wrong with my engine. thanks.

I don't know much about the generic tune options like that but, I don't think that $700 will be worth it. You can do much more with $700.

what would you recommend doing with the $700? (Considering that i already have decided on Exhaust and Air Intake)

well...i was already planning on springs, and i am not sure i want to do a pulley, because i am afraid of supercharger failure. Unless of course the ECU is safer than the Pulley?
