Just to let you guys know, i rang JKM and they said its 7 days from date or purchase.
so my options are to loose a years no claims if i cancel my policy and get insurance that will cover the remap, or wait until March to install and hope it all works great.
probably go with the later, but I'm itching to open it and install it. I best burry it at the back of the cupboard, and start counting down the days!
thanks for your replies guys. :happy2:
oh by the way will i have to ring super chips before and let them know i have a DSG car

Or you could use a private road to test the bluefin (I've heard loads of people on here have one  :scared: )
Then flash it back to standard after to keep your policy valid?

is it worth telling superchips that my car is a DSG or is it the same map for a manual/DSG?

Anyone tried the VWR stage 1 ?

Can we have a poll for who used which upgrade ?

Im looking at Shark and JBS because they local... any input would be good,  BLUEFIN for £365 sounds great

Yeah make sure you tell them its DSG or you'll have problems.
Have you uploaded your map yet?

Nope not yet, going to wait until insurance renewal in March as existing company won't cover me.
But saying that waiting for that extra years no claims makes a difference of £1 on quotes I'm looking at now.

It's not worth losing a years no claims for 2 or 3 months.
I would upload your map and give it a go then revert back to standard. Saying that there's a few people running maps etc and no told their insurance.

I just took advantage of this offer. Couldn't help myself!

By the sound of what you guys are saying I'll never look back.  :happy2:


Has anyone ever had any premature mechanical problems, wear or failure's because of a STAGE 1 remap due to the increase in power?

Cheers.
