Default Two part question

I have a 2011 Mini Cooper Clubman S. Bad throttle lag. Can any upgrades fix this and still pass emissions testing? Also while accelerating hard getting on Highway the car started bucking as if fuel was being cut off. Happened in less than three seconds, but was un-nerving. Any ideas? Hasn't happened since. The car has 4,000 miles on it.

You should look into a TPS sensor. Something similar happened to a friends miata.
