Car already mapped?
« on: November 18, 2010, 07:02:42 am »
Hi guys,
Thinking of buying a used bluefin but am concerned my car may have already been mapped and the purchase may be a waste of money.
Is there anyway of telling if car is already mapped or does anyone know if super chips will reset handset at no extra cost with in 7 days?

Cheers

Put it on a rolling road - will tell you what it is producing and you can use that to help tell whether it's mapped or not.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Rolling road test is one way, but easiest is to ask your local tuning specialist to read the ECU and check for you, we charge £10 for this.

Boost logs or MAF airflow in vcds.

I was just reading this when superchips emailed me.

My car had previously been mapped,

They gave me 2 options
Either send the unit back to get a refund or they wil send me the factory vw settings and the superchips map.

So it looks like they have changed there policy.

I opted to get there map and the factory map as I would rather have a superchips map than an unknown one
