Title: Has anyone gone to stage 2 bluefin on an ED30?
Post by: heavyd on November 06, 2010, 10:23:34 pm

Just wondered if anyone has gone to stage 2 bluefin on an edition 30, and was it worth doing or not?
Had a milltek TBE fitted, so was wondering if it was worth paying the extra £50 or not?
Thanks in advance for any replies :happy2:

Seems like an improvement, pulls better, but felt better after the milltek downpipe anyway.
The twintake making more noise, got more chatter, so must have upped the boost a bit, will check on vcds next week when I have some time what changes it has made. Seems like its worth the £50 :happy2:
I must also note, the resonated milltek is very quiet, hardly makes any difference to standard apart from high revs and when the car is under load :stupid:

You need to update your sig now then. :P

I preferred the res-Milltek on mine so it was only noisy when I wanted to play.

 :congrats: will do!
Yep, I emailed milltek about the non res pipe and it was going to be £93 + vat. Still in 2 minds whether to take the plunge, as I dont want the droooonnnne at 70 mph like my last car did, also dont fancy another epic 4hrs at PDT to get the exhaust changed over  :stupid:
