cheers for info mate!,

changing down pipe etc is just the same set up as had to do on my scooby then thats sound!
is there a good make of exhausts-cats etc to get,prices?
what about fuel consumption does it suffer or is just a case of how heavy the right foot is!! :grin:
what gear box is better?feel you no where you are with the manual?
is a revo got the same set up as bluefinn where you can change settings as you please?

oh i SORRY to those of you i offended leaving caps lock on by mistake!! :booty:

cheers guys

my fuel economy has taken a hit but thats down to my driving, on a fuel economy motorway run at cruise controlld 80mph i get 36mpg, but that drops drastically when you press the loud pedal.

blueflame, piper, pipewerx, miltek all do down pipes for the mk5 platform. the piper and pipewerx are 3" i think the others are 2.75". might be quieter as well. ppipewerx were cheap as well have a look on ebay. they have a online shop, make sure you offer less than the stated price, i hear they are open to bartering.

I have manual, i love it now i have the short shifter. feels way better than std.

Revo has more adjustability than suerchips, you can change boost, timing, and fuel. provided you purchase SPS swich on top of the remap its also more aggressive torque wise.

bluefin can be installed by yourself from home though as can stage 2 and stage 2+, whereas revo you have to go to a specialist which means travel costs on top

Its not as aggressive or as torquey as REVO but it still is very good

I'm curious? What sort of differences can be expected driving wise between the REVO stage 1 and Bluefin stage 1? Do they differ greatly in relation to where the torque is delivered etc and does one map require the car to be thrashed more than the other? Its something I'd not really thought about and presumed that they all gave a similar driving experience/throttle response to the standard car , only with more, dare I say,  'va va voom' ?

Janner_Sy:
they both give you about the same bhp increase but with revo you will get more torque. you dont need to thrash either though as with this engine and a remap you get a nice amount or torque lower down the rev range
