Hi

Picking up an new petrol Mini in April can you remap them for a power boost like the old ones.

Yes, but you will probably find your ECU has anti-remapping protection. This may mean a re-soldering job and/or a software hack to allow the enhanced performance mapping to be installed. Evidence of tampering with or removing the protection is very likely to invalidate your warranty.

OTOH, this may not worry you.

You won't find much if it is the n/a version.

You'd do better to buy a Mini Cooper in the first place.
