Phoned up SC's today and again spoke to Michael - he's made me another custom map - and now WAW ! What a difference, acceleration is much much much better in the lower gears but this time not at a cost of top end performance - FANTASTIC !!! GOT THERE IN THE END. Traction control light now blinking away like a good 'un ! Noise is much much much different now too - don't know what they've done but it is a great deal better - gutted now not going to the pod on Sunday to give it another go !!

Regards to all,

Gareth

Nice to hear, glad you happy. :wink:

It would be nice to see a rolling road printout of your car to see what they have done.

That's great news, Gareth. As a fellow Ed30 evangelist I've really been feeling for you over the problems you've been experiencing with SC.

As ever, though, it does sound like you're yet another customer who can vouch for their exemplary customer service. I hope I never have to take advantage of it (now that my Bluefin map seems to have settled down I'm really happy with it) but it's good to know you can rely on them when necessary.

Hope your clutch holds up now!

Cheers,

Shaun

Blue, if you like I can give you my Bluefin serial / handset number and you can ask for the same map if you like,

The entire noise of the car has changed, the turbo spool and noise is MUCH more audible plus all the ound of dumpin, sucking (oh err.. !) and other associated noises - sounds as if it'll suck pedastrians off the street and into the K04 now lol !!!

Do you have to pay for these new maps? I bought bluefin about a week ago and just installed the first map that was sent to me assuming that was the best??

No they didn't but I did say that I'd had their so called "270bhp" original map and that it lacked the torque of the full fat map.  Michael assured me he could easily "sort this" for me on a custom map.

My handset is in the boot - just gonna pop home will get it and post it here for anyone else who's interested gimme 5 mins ...

STAND BY !
