A quick search for bluefin came up with this:

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,65077.0.html

Steve was a big fan of bluefin until he saw the way it was working his turbo hard, for what appears to be no reason.

I heard that one of Revo's map writers has gone to Superchips now, so maybe things have improved?

Let us know how you get on if you decide to go bluefin  :happy2:

I think their map for K04 must be a lot better than K03 & IHI turbo. I kid you not, it dyno'd 226bhp. It didnt drive bad at all, it was quite linear but just didnt pull hard.

Im not trying to talk you in to any certain map, its just my experience. My car had no faults, leaks or boost problems. 2 weeks later with REVO on it ran 276Bhp.

As I say I've had no absolutely no reason to dislike my Bluefin map(s) over the 3 cars I've used the handset on  :smiley:

I'm sure it's not as powerful as Revo/R tech/whoever is the flavour of the month etc but my ed30 was perfect for me, came second in class at the inters sprint 2 years running, did great dyno lottery numbers and ran on to 175mph on an autobahn, so yes Revo etc may be 'better' but Bluefin does suit some people, me included!

Bluefin on my old Ed30 was spot on.

Not the headline grabbing figures of other maps however it was very nice to drive and made pretty good figures, but as we all know it's not about the figures.  :wink:

Everyone who is saying it drive great and got decent figures are in Ed30 or Ed35, which by the looks of it they have done a decent job. But the standard Mk5  or mk6 GTI not so good.

anyways, each to their own. Im sure you will be happy with what ever you get

It should feel quick when forcing 1.7bar out of the turbo   :grin:

The initial hit of boost should be quite addictive. I wonder if Beddie & Hedge had the same version of the map as Saintsteve?  :popcornsoda:
