just installed bluefin stage 1 on my gti!

[northernmunkeh]

and wow! 

car seems so much faster, more power etc.. traction control is having to work overtime mind!

damn crappy insurance company robbed me though to cover it.

was I right to tell them my gti has an engine chip with an increase in bhp between 11% and 25% fitted?
Superchips state power goes from 197 to 238 (+41bhp) which is a 21% increase!

I also have a non resonating milltek catback exhaust fitted which is also declared. Will this give anymore gains apart from the sound?  I forgot to tell superchips I had this when I got the new map from them so wondered if I should tell them so they can tweak it if required. Not sure if it will make any difference mind as I dont have the full turbo back exhaust system. I need the downpipe for that! 

[182_blue]

the insurance seems about right, i dont think the catback is enough to go for the stage 2 of bluefin, oh and you say you need the downpipe for the full system, im assuming you need the sports cat too ?

[northernmunkeh]

ah yes the high flow sports cat too!

would it pass an MOT with a sports cat fitted?

Yup! 

[northernmunkeh]

boy o boy, man alive etc I would have preferred you to say "no it will not pass MOT with one" as this is costing mega bucks in mods : )

just added to my shopping list.. on JKM performance website at the minute... they don't seem very cheap..   

[Greeners]

They come up on here from time to time used so either keep your eye out or post in the Wanted section.

Unfortunately the DP and car are the dear bits. 

[northernmunkeh]

is it wise to leave the bluefin unit in the car?
problems etc, then can go to standard map regardless of where you are?

[big al]

Does everyone here reccomend Bluefin? I have ben toying with getting a remap, does this just plug in and load?
I have teh Milltek exhaust and non res centre section, but not the other parts, what else do I need to get the full potential out of my exhaust?
(Oh, and sorry to hijack the thread!)

quite a few do, i have it on mine and now i have the proper map i do like it alot, for an off the shelf DIY option you cant go far wrong

[Phil Mcavity]

I think its great. Love mine and im really looking foward to adding the milltek Sports cat and downpipe next week to finish it off

Aftersales Support from Superchips is always 1st class and nothings ever too much trouble to resolve 

[Aparoon]

Yeah superchips is awesome imo, more so for somebody who will put a map on and be happy with it rather than requiring the option to adjust and fine tune settings - i would just mess it up... 

[tonym1]

ive been close to getting one a few times but they are always sold ( reset one)

[Aparoon]

My mate Gti-Daz just got a reset one, barain! Different casr altogether now 

[northernmunkeh]

is it wise to leave the bluefin unit in the car in case of problems then can flash back to standard?
