I thought it was bad enough just being a member of a forum but a swear it's got far worse being the admin of one  :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh:

....I'm pleased to hear, dear boy, that you are accepting your responsibilities as Admin and are prepared to lead the way.

So, ceramics it is then!

Just been out for a Christmas blat with the new map on 

Only thing compared to their last map is the fact it is so much quicker in the midrange on take up that it is almost impossible in these conditions to get the power down in 2nd !!  The TC was working, well, lets just say lots .....

Is it just the weather or does the older less agressive map suit the DSG better ?

Just a thought those with the new map can perhaps discuss .....

I know what you mean about 2nd gear in wet/greasy conditions, it does feel to start with a bit different and is very easy to light up the front wheels and does require a bit more throtle control, but TBH I don't find it that much worse than before now I have done 1200 miles in various  conditions since the work was completed on my car last week. I also believe the overall drivablity of the new map is better.

The one thing I really like is the removal of the feeling of a pause between gear changes (which I noticed more then realy pushing on between 2nd and 3rd) has gone and the overall acceleratiion is very smooth.

i prefer a bit more power in first and second, the previous map was to reserved for me and didnt feel too strong in 1 & 2, at least now i can go for it if i want, and can control the power with my feet (conditions dependant) and not let the map do it for me 

[SteveP]

^^^ I agree I would rather have the power available for me to decide how/when to use it

I've not applied the new map yet... Certainly want to tho! Based on what you're saying.

Thanks for the replies people ....

The car is spinning in the dry at the moment - but the roads are very cold.... and I am sure I am trying to enjoy it a bit too much 

Has anyone noticed a slight lull in the acceleration after the initial surge coming in, before it gets going again for the red line ?   

The older map got better and better as revs went up - due to the fact the power got more as it gained revs.  The new map has a much more powerful aggressive surge when coming on boost so I guess my feeling of it going slightly flat is more in my head after the initial rush. 

I may get SC to RR it anyway to see the difference it has made on my car .  It certainly seems to be quicker at extreme revs - which they said could be possible with the removal of the torque limit.

I have yet to test mine but initial feel was very good, just need a decent drive to try it in varying condtions

This is the start of a new thread




Decided to take the plunge and ordered Bluefin and took advantage of JKM's xmas offer - plugged this forum too.  Was wondering what I sjould spend the £30 vouchers on.  Anyway, having read many topics on many forums, I can see that Bluefin seem to have turned around their remaps.  I was wondering those of you have bluefined ED30, whether you could post your power run graphs so that I can see.  I just hope it is worth the £390 !!!

Regards,

Gareth

Verrrrrrrrrry nice!! You will love it! 

[wigit]

i have been reading a lot about remaps with interest and a lot of rubbishing of bluefin with no support and read a great thread on another forum where the myth of reverting to the original map was explained and the pros and cons asscoiated with all of them and think this route may be taken in the new year for me

[182_blue]

I'm loving my revised bluefin map :-), it's also nice that superhips send you the updates without you asking too, and they upgrade you to stage 2 for free

[SteveP]

Hi Gareth,

I don't think you will be disappointed 

Unless you looking to buy anything else I would go for a panel filter with the vouchers, if you email JKM (unless they have already dispatched the bluefin) they might be able to exchange the vouchers straight away?
