I wouldn't bother mate I had one on my R and messed up all the DSG changes to be fair to them they altered the map 3 times but to no avail and was still cutting power on the up shift. Customer service was spot on though as they reset it for free and I never bought it new.  :happy2:

Mine was spot on on my ed30 with dsg and made good figures but it was my 3rd map off them


Good afternoon mark.
 
We do have some files which seem to respond better to cars fitted with the DSG transmissions but there is no significant difference in power or torque when you dyno a DSG & manual car on the same calibration.
 
I have made a few key revisions to your file based on some work we have done with an S3, RS3 and TTRS fitted with the DSG / S-Tronic transmission. Please download it and give it a try.

Any experience around with a manual? I plan to get this as all the decent mappers seem to be a trek away from me so wanted to try this first!

Bad advice!!!

Yes people may say its ok and have good results, but most of them havent had Revo or R-Tech. When i switched from Bluefin to Revo it was night and day.

Bluefin just seems to die off, REVO pulls hard all the way. Its not all about peak figures, but my Bluefin only made 15BHP over stock whilst Revo make 66Bhp over stock (MK6 GTI - same rolling road, same air temps) and as for the torque.....different league.

If you want a 3/4 power map...then Bluefin maybe for you. Just dont regret it when you want R-Tech or Revo 2 months later.

I'll crawl out of the woodwork as another satisfied Bluefin customer...
My ed30 ran it for almost 5 years and always made good numbers on dynos, pulled great on road and track and never missed a beat in 73k remapped miles, same can be said for the ed35 using the same handset albeit reset  :happy2:

We can all say buy this buy that but he clearly is a distance away from a tuner and sounds like his minds made up.
If you are going to travel go APR or Giac  :happy2:
