You may want to start your own thread.... I wish i could tow the responses and stuff over...
anyway.
can you use the head?
In a sense yes. however i would not expect much out of it if anything. you could always mail your current head in, and have the RMW work valves and other things put it into it. providing they did not do anything to the casting thats severe. depends on what it looks like really.

And Evotech Ecu software? where did you hear about them? I have been in the mini community longer than most and haven't herd of them seems like a dubious proposition at best. A bunch of times that stuff turns out to be a flash that either leans it out or richens the car to no end (both bad) Then Throws timing at it and lets it ride the knock sensor(really bad) The goal with the RMW tune/software is that its fit to your car for the best results. I thinks if i remember correctly Jans tuned about 1000 of them. and some really not easy to deal with cars such as mine.... all on the stock ecu. However, Mine was sort of a special case..... anyway. for the best results create a overall practical plan and stick with it.
Stick with the RMW flash tool, or buy a vipec if you can budget it and your state laws/desire all jive.
