MINI of North America is introducing the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit. The new kit utilizes a retrofit exhaust system, aftermarket components and engine software programming increasing the engine power output and exhaust system performance.

It increases the engine’s power output on the Cooper S and Cooper S ALL4 on the Clubman and Countryman models from 189 to 208 hp and pushes the maximum torque to 221 ft-lb between 1,350 and 4,600 rpm. At the same time, the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit also provides reduced exhaust gas back pressure, in combination with adapted engine software, to deliver the sporty responsiveness MINI owners have come to love across the John Cooper Works variants.

Is this for an F56 Cooper S LCI fitted with the new particulate filter, the reason I ask is I've just had my car dyno'd here in the UK and the only engine mod is a Forge induction system and it's producing 213BHP and 237 ft/lbs torque, these quoted figures don't make much sense for a kit which will no doubt cost a fortune.

Isn't this the same as the JCW (Pro) kit that has been available on pre LCI MINIs? Looks the same as what I bought anyway.

Not a very clear article at all.
There is one sentence where they say the kit is for Cooper S Countryman and Clubman and All4 but the video shows a F56.
But for North America MINI did recently release a JCW tuning kit and exhaust for the F54 and F60.
