And you didn't have an Edition 30 did you Sy?  :confused:


Nope mine was better  :innocent:

At the OP, any reason why you've not considered APR or PTorque as well.

Thanks for the replys.  I was looking hard at a superchips remap mainly cos of the convieniance. After some more carefull reading and the replies here I think it's revo all the way.

Bluefin on mine on stage 2, have had stage 1 and was well pleased with it..achieved 285bhp stage 1, and at a guess 300bhp on stage2.

If you want to max the power out, go Revo.
But Big bhp , and especially high torque isnt always the best option for the life of the car...
Too much can take away the driveable of the Ed30 which to be fair is a very good car without needing to go balls out with a high stage map.

Bluefin- less aggressive
Revo- More aggressive..

or in a quarter mile sprint, about 2 tenths on equally staged maps.

ive had APR and REVO (both are in the reviews section)
I suggest you read them as each remap has its place dependent on your individual circumstances (i list some in the review)
which could help you in choosing a map.

REVO is amazing and can be adjusted using the SPS to make the delivery less aggresive shoukd you want to :happy2:

Thanks for all the replies  :drinking:  Going on everything I have read I'm gonna start with a bluefin remap. If it's not to my liking  and I fancy something more aggresive then I'll give revo a chance. It sounds as if both maps are good , but maybe in the long run could also go down to personel taste and driving style.

Or get REVO and the revo select switch, that way you can set it up to your liking.

REVO REVO REVO! And I have bluefin! Only reason I went through all the stages with SC was because I didn't want to pay any more for revo!

Never had the Bluefin myself, went for Revo stage 1, last December.
Principally because I wanted to just go to a tuner with a rolling road, have the map fitted and know it was installed right.

Personally did not like the idea of paying for something that is pretty much hands on, preferred to leave it to an expert in case of any issues, was worried of having issues with my install with the Superchips Bluefin option.
Just my view. And of course others will love the downloading of maps etc.

As an aside everyone seems to talk of Revo being aggressive etc.
In my very simple/layman's terms the car (Ed30) is fantastic with a Revo map, it just gets down the road very progressively and is brutally fast compared to a standard state of tune.
As lots on here mention a remap is just the start...of the modding slope. Enjoy the journey.

What mods have you got on to make 320BHP at stage 1?

Stage 1 is JUST the map. Exhaust/Intake/fuel pump (clutch) needed for 350/360bhp  :evilgrin:

Those are the figures for a K04 i.e. S3/ED30/Cupra K1. Around 300bhp-310bhp realistically, but the S3 is 320bhp. Are you running software at the moment?
