Will blue fin replace another map

[Baz300]

I have just got a mk5 gti and the last owner claimed it had been "superchipped" through a mate

With me never driving another gti I don't really know if there's any difference.

The map through a Mate bit doesn't really fill me with confidence and i am looking at getting a bluefin.

When it reads from my ecu will it just give me one of there maps after that? And will the previous map be wiped?

No it won't you would be best to get the map flashed back to a stock map somewhere and then load the Bluefin on

However you do know that Bluefin and Superchips are one and the same.

Yeah I know the bluefin is made by superchips

It's whether the car has actually been mapped or not before that I'm not 100% sure of

I'm tempted to fit a boost gauge to find out what it is boosting to

PM a member near you with VCDS. They can log block 115 and that will tell you what boost is being requested and produced.

could just have a split DV?  As above get the car logged and check out.

I have spoke to super chips today.

They say that some people lock the ecu when they map the car so if that was the case I would have to return it to the place that mapped the car to reset it.

I have orderd a new Diverter valve from awesome gti an see if that makes any difference
