*** All your bluefin/superchips questions and answers in here please.
cossy:
When you plug the Bluefin in there is an options or similar coming up along with program Bluefin.
Would this give me fault codes etc or is it not used?
Many thanks :smiley:

Put a low power map on the weekend & as the options came up on the handset thought I would enter it.
Came up do you want to read DPM or similiar so I said yes & it came back with no codes reported?
Does this make sense?

BF or Revo, decision time!
On my last MK5 GTI (05 reg, manual) I ran Revo stage 1 (no other mods) for 3+ years and was very happy with it. Having recently bought an ED30 (08 reg, manual) I am now debating whether to get BF or Revo. I will not be doing any other performance mods to my car, so stage 1 is fine.
Given the difference in price - £390 for BF v £573 for Revo, I can't think of any reason for sticking with Revo - IMO they seem to be pricing themselves out of the market? Is it true that a BF can be reset by Superchips so it can be sold on, once I have sold the car? If so, that's another reason to buy the BF. Weighing it up, the BF seems to be winning.
One point I'm not sure about - when the car goes into the dealer for servicing (having previously returned the car to the stock programme) and they reflash the ecu, I know that the BF will re-insert the tuned programme, but what happens to the updated stock programme that the dealer has put in? Presumably if I re-insert the stock programme from the BF it will overwrite the dealer updated stock proramme, which is then lost?
Finally, am I missing something with Revo (no further mods and I don't want play with the settings)? If not, BF it is!
Thanks. TT.

Trev, If the dealer does re-flash the ecu you can speak to SC and they will re-write your map for you FOC. You will need to perform the same operation you do when you recieve a new handset, i.e. send them the 'standard' ECU map! :happy2:
They really are a great company to deal with and I can't recommend them enough. HTH :drinking:
