What year of mini?!
Do you have a stage one kit fitted?
What air filter do you have fitted (cone or KnN in the standard filter box?)
What is the emissions on the MOT?
I know I'm giving you more questions but there are a few variables from car to car.

Where there are gaskets and where there are vacuum and breather pipes if something's split.
