P3 Cars P3 Boost Gauge
We've seen P3's VIDI (Vent Integrated Digital Interface) line of gauges for most Audi/VW/BMW/Mini platforms and approve. Its latest is a boost gauge that forgoes the OBD-II connection for a simple analog harness; it uses the same scratch- and glare-resistant display from the VIDI and includes a hose kit and 45-psi boost sensor (an 80-psi sensor is also available). Gauge features include auto dimming, peak boost recall, vehicle battery voltage meter, and sleep voltage check (to see your car's battery condition if you don't drive the car frequently). The P3 Boost Gauge will be available for every vehicle that P3 Cars currently offers the VIDI. $199 p3cars.com/P3boostgauge

Bilstein F56 Mini Hatch Coilover Kits
Both B14 and B16 performance coilover kits have been designed and produced in-house at Bilstein's German factory, each designed with monotube dampers and Triple-C-Technology surface technology. Both the spring plate and locknut are manufactured from a special aluminum alloy, and both kits utilize sport springs. These assemblies rock 0.7 inches of ride height adjustment via machined threaded steel bodies, which equates to a drop of between 1.2 and 2 inches. The B14 kit comes with a pre-set damping rate, while the B16 kit represents the pinnacle of suspension performance. Each shock has 10 steps of adjustment, with bump and rebound being changed together in a pre-set ratio. B14 and B16 kits carry full TUV approval and 12-month warranty. BilsteinUS.com
