This link to pdf file is useful for Rover MEMS SPI/MPI technical information:
http://www.gaima.co.uk/peter/RoverMEMS.pdf
Also, interesting to read Mike Theaker's (BMW/Rover Engine Development Engineer) account of the Mini MPI development story and how it was only BMW's will and John Cooper's insistence that finally got the MPI into production in 1996, extending the Mini's life by 4 more years. Mike Theaker also later worked on powertrain development for the New MINI.
