My DSG Edition 30 has been given the Bluefin treatment and I am very happy ....

Car went from 229bhp to 295bhp - graphs are shown here :

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=550.0

However, since then they have managed to get around the torque limiter for the DSG and a new remap has been issued.  It is on my car and is, err, rather more powerful in the midrange !   I intend to get SC to RR it soon to see the difference.   There is another graph on this site where SteveP got his Stage 2 done - which was effectively the first of the new maps ..... if you look you will find that one too, which shows the difference between their 'old' enhanced map and the new one  :laugh:

You will not be disappointed with the change from standard - if you look on the SC website the manual graph they show is roughly what you will get .... whether your car is manual or DSG as both now run the same settings.

My only 'complaint' (though not a proper one as I am very happy!) is that now I want the newest map but the option to reload the 'older' one in this cr*p weather .... and the BF device only holds standard + one enhanced map.  If it held two enhanced maps it would be like the Revo select plus or Chipped UK's ST3.

Effectively it's always been on the SC map, Richter just take certain versions of the SC maps and supply them under there name.

The new map seems softer, less agressive...
is that the case?

I've just got back from Superchips having asked them if they would rolling road my Ed 30 DSG to see the difference the newer map made on my car ..... tongue in cheek I asked if they do it today ..... and they managed to fit me in ! 

The answer once they had checked it was it is going very well thank you !   

I have managed another 1000 miles since it was originally done.  As a result power was up slightly to 298 bhp at the top end from 295 bhp previously (229 std) but the torque was up massively from 357nm on the 1st remap and now 414nm (originally 309nm std) :evilgrin:

My car didn't quite make 300 bhp (298.8  :sad:) but I think I can manage to live with that given the massive difference the remap has made  :grin:   I will have to buy a Milltek now just to get it over 300 !! 

The guys at Superchips get a big  :happy2: from me !  Michael and Dave for fitting me in at zero notice and checking the car out ....

I will post the graph when I get round to scanning it .....

Not on my car !   Now spins up very easily .... I just got mine RR'd at SC and it showed a much bigger 'surge' and loads more torque ....

BHP at say 3,000 rpm is up by about 25 over and above their previous DSG remap and torque at 3K is around 65-70 Nm up  !!

I will scan the graph and put it up if I can work out how ....
