be careful how you pull the engine cover off, i pulled a bit to hard and cracked a corner
Be careful with the grommits too, as I one of mine fell down in the dark deapths of the engine bay...  :sad:

Nice one, that's a very nice increase on the torque for a otherwise standard car :happy2:

Bluefin on ED30 DSG, any essential mods required?
« Reply #153 on: January 03, 2009, 10:10:15 pm »
Hello all,
As per the title really, i've retained the Bluefin handset from my A3 and will be sending it back to SC for resetting with the ED30 software shortly,
Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on any 'essential' mods to run in conjunction with the Bluefin? I'm thinking along the lines of uprated DV's and fuel pumps etc?
Looking at it from a fault prevention viewpoint i suppose, not too sure whther the SC map will show any shortcomings in the stock DV and pump?
Cheers
Steve

Do you have a TBE, in which case you need to let SC know as iirc they'll send you a different map.

At present with SC you can either have a map suited to the standard car or one with the TBE (like mine  :evilgrin:).

I wouldn't say with the standard car map any of the mods are 'essential' but things like a good intake or at least a panel filter will help. The 'stage 1' type map hasn't seen any fuelling issues with the stock pump on the ED30.

I have being running remapped with the standard DV on mine for over 20K with no issues but a am considering putting a forge DV on now I have gone to stage 2 with the TB Milltek.

Cheers fellas, thanks for the quick replies  :happy2:
My main concern was any fuelling problems tbh, it's been 2 years since my last MKV GTi and back then even the standard cars were having DV/fuelling problems when mapped so just wanted to check, thanks again guys

Just out of curiosity - how much did superchips charge when you sent the unit back to them for reprogramming ?

Get the new map on and you can spin up in third and change lanes without using the steering wheel  :grin:

Not that I found this out on the M25 today you understand  :laugh:

This is the last post in this thread, and below is a new one.
