edition 30 Bluefin stage 2 problems - VAGCOM needed

(1/4) > >>

chopper:
ive just added APR turboback exhaust and carbonio intake, and upgraded to Bluefin Stage 2. Compared with the stage 1 remap the now car feels quite sluggish in the midrange on acceleration. Ive contacted superchips and they need me to run VAGCOM to check turbo and fuel pressures. They cant offer any other help until i can send them logged data.
im a bit peeved, as i dont have VAGCOM, and now bluefin seems to be proving more hassle than its worth.

Has anyone with edition 30 and bluefin had similar problems?
Were they rectified by superchips?
Does anyone know where I can buy VAGCOM at a reasonable price for a one off use?

should i bite the bullet and just go REVO locally?
any help appreciated

Hey,

When I fitted the 3'' downpipe and went to bf stage 2 on my ed30 I too felt that it lacked in torque and just didnt feel as fast, however it made 318bhp on awesomes rollers and at santa pod I was running the same times as revo stage 2 on the day and about a tenth slower than revo 2+ on the day ...

I then fitted the pump and intake and went stage 3 which was laughable, swapped to revo 2+ and the difference was huge, like a different car altogether.

My advice would be to swap to revo and sell the bf whilst you can still make some money on it if its new as I think you can get it reset for free within a certain amount of time ..

chopper:
ive had the bluefin stage 1 for about 9 months, so dont know whether they will reset it at this stage.
im not keen to make any more mods like fuel pump, and was hoping stage 2 would be enough. i wasnt expecting much from the 20 extra bhp, it was more the increase in midrange torque i was after.
did you find the torque for revo stage 2 was the same as bluefin stage 2?

Aparoon:
I never tried revo stage 2 pal , I went straight to stage 2+ ...

I think sometimes with the stage 2 maps they are smoother in power delivery and so can be deceiving, try and meet with somebody who can vag com the car and send the logs to them, could save you some cash  :smiley:

Saint Steve:
Sounds like theyve sent you the wrong map, which has happened to me twice.

Check to see if its the correct one for your cars type of transmission.
