Dinan upgratdes on 2006 MCS
 
My 2006 MCS convertible I bought recently has Dinan upgrades including air box, throttle body, stage 5 software, and exhaust from a 2007 update. I tried calling Dinan to get their recommendations for anything else for the car or updates, and when they finally answered the phone said they are out of the Mini parts business and were no help at all. Who knows those parts and systems well? I'm wondering if there are any additional maintenance considerations with the upgrades. The car has only 60K miles on it and is in great shape. I'd like to keep it that way. Thanks for any insights you can offer.

Dinan no longer makes products for MINI unfortunately. Read up on this thread HERE about the software and components added with his MINI. What do you mean by 2007 update?

All of the Dinan upgrades: air intake, throttle body, stage 5 software, exhaust, strut brace, etc. were done in 2007. I'm trying to figure out what the actual horsepower is with these upgrades too. Per your prior suggestions, I'm going to replace the knock sensor that is faulting occasionally soon. I assume the stock knock sensor is okay to use even with the other equipment upgrades. Thanks!
