There is a review on their web site VW Driver Bluefin but maybe it is more personal reviews you want to hear

Yes the review is Feb 2007 but it is for the standard GTI not the ED30.

I got my last revision in October and that was a big difference from the previous one. I'm pretty sure there's another waiting for me to do too... but I'll get around to it when I get my downpipe and go Stage2.

I don't recall seeing anywhere that Superchips charge for upgrading you from stage 1 to 2/2+, is that right?

question from me is, why are you considering bluefin over what ever other options are there

the reason most people do it are, cheap, good customer service, handest applied (meaning it can be removed and reapplied at will, and you can do it at home yourself, no need to visit an agent) , you also get the upgrades free

thanks

what's the definition of cheap?

i would have thought a diagnostic before a remap should be essential

they were doing them for £380 not so long ago , never tried it on the ed30 but with bluefin you can read DTC's on some cars, if you want it checked over Superchips can do this for you too (but you need to go in to them)

Another plus point is if you sell the car, you can pay a nominal fee to have the handset recoded and sell it on to someone else.

Hi just spoke to a superchips dealer andthey told me they have units in stock, I asked do they have for my car ( mk5 golf gti) and theysaid it's not specific they are programmed universal? I'm sure this is wrong but I'm just checking with u lit maybe there is two types?
