Not the sort of thing you'd post about on a forum ..some users opted to keeping quiet and not telling the world.

I read of 2 on Facebook within the past week.

All aftermarket pumps and follower failures. NeilM's went ages ago on a track day.. These things are not built to take long abuse so I don't wanna run the risk of having a Major repair bill. Not worth it for just another 30bhp on a front wheel drive car.Especially something I would like to keep for many years without straining its bolts off so to speak.
Yes I know mines tuned, but hopefully this custom set up is better suited to my car for the long term.

Or I could use the Hyundai i10 as a tow car to save on fuel perhaps :innocent:

Why the change from Bluefin to R-TEC?

Why the change from Bluefin to R-TEC?

The offer was too good to turn down. Like the sound of RTech's TIV mapping, along with a DSG remap to suit their own Custom Setup, and rolling road to fine tune it, with logging after to check it over.
Superchips don't offer Dsg remaps, and I was never considering Revo due to the Cost jump which is staggering for a map that can be played with on a switch , which I don't see the point, as each and every members cars seem to be different, and I couldn't be asked messing around with dial mucking it up   :chicken: but that's just how I see it   :grin:
It will be good to compare both setups side by side, so watch for graph comparisons later this week.

From what I've read and seen, this will match if not better what Revo's map will give, but the aim is a car with very drive able power and torque, and not chasing high figures...
Smooth curves are the way foward  :drinking:

But saying that, Superchips map now I've finally got it set on the car at stage 2, is going great, but we shall see what happens if RTechs map comes up trumping it.

 :happy2:

Cant argue with that reasoning.

I must admit, R-TEC look really promising and one of the few companies id allow to do my mapping.

Be good to see some R-Tech cars run at Pod at some point (especially Stage 2+ ones). I know Nick and his customers often run there, but most of them are Mk4's and mental project cars..

Nick - Have any of your customers run a Stage 2+ Ed30 DSG there yet? If so, what sort of results were they achieving?

I keep meaning to get my stage 2+ ed30 done but I'm not DSG. Live only a few miles away aswell :ashamed:

As for map add on a true 1:1 linear throttle map, which we are still the only uk tuner who can provide this, will be free with the custom mapping.    


pretty sure Jabbasport, APR, REVO and Shark all offer 1:1 throttle mapping as well.

Theres certainly guys who have had the map applied on here, but i guess its something to do with that post stating a TRUE 1:1 throttle


Not 100% 1:1 ratio  linear   :wink:   The ones i have drove still offer that placebo DBW input down low giving a on/off feel still at certain rpm ranges. DSG cars respond best to 100% linear mapping.
