How do you get hold of both maps? you talk about the 300bhp and the 270 version?

If you ask them they can email it to you or load it onto their server for you to download ....

New Question

I am looking at the various remap options, and I am attracted to the versatility of the Bluefin.  One question, is anyone running the software with Vista 64 bit? 

I was told it was not compatible.

Its not i am afraid,  im running a quad 64 bit vista system and it doesnt work.

Use the Mrs XP laptop for the bluefin.

Strange really as vista been out for years and you think SC would be right up there with their technology in their line of work!

Another option maybe to install Virtual Machine on Vista which will allow you to install XP to 'The Virtual PC' and run it from within Vista!  :happy2: I use this option for some old software I use at work which is not Vista friendly. Good luck either way  :wink:

Bluefin Upgrade
« Reply #475 on: March 10, 2009, 10:15:32 pm »
This is the start of a thread

Hi. I am fairly new to the site but it hasbeen a wealth of imformation in helping by my GTI and now hopefully to help me unleash its true potential. I am looking into a remap for standard manual GTI. The offer by JKM for £390 looks ridiculously tempting but i have a couple of concerns. The website states "Not for use on CAWB, CBFA or CCTA engine codes as per the YR 2008 TSI engine". How do i find out my engine code as i have an 08 GTI. Also i understand the bluefin completely rewrites the ecu everytime its uploaded or downloaded (put back to standard map for servicing). Would this have a detrimental effect over time with the map keep changing as in a pc when you copy over something on the hard drive the original file is never truely erased. Would i be better with the Revo where both maps are stored on ecu and can switch between the two. Your opinions are extremely sought after.

p.s. I didn't have any snags with my car until i started researching older posts, now familiar problems are starting to occur. Sometimes ignorance is bliss :innocent

Look in the service schedule manual (1.1) it tells you the engine code on the label stuck inside the facing cover.

Failing that look on your V5 document. :smiley:

I think your GTi should be a BWA engine.  The Cxxx ones are the new TSi ones as used in the rocco etc.
