Keep the Bluefin or go for Revo?
heavyd:
Well from my own point of view, I had it in my head from the start I was going to get revo, but I think I only paid £270 ish for the bluefin, so seemed a good deal, as I couldnt afford the extra £500 for Revo this year!!!!!!!!!
If you arent planning on getting anything apart from stage 1, maybe stage 2, then save your money and stay with the bluefin, otherwise, sell the bluefin, make £60, and put it towards revo :wink:
From what I've read, no-one has complained about revo, but have done with bluefin.
It does make a big difference with just the bluefin, I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
On the other hand, if you go through JKM rolling road results on their website, some revo dont do very well on their dyno, and come out with less than the bluefins....................
Choice is yours at the end of the day, but I think it worked out pricewise the same for me getting the bluefin and going to inters next year, as it would have driving 10 miles down the road and getting revo at my local dealer so I was told.

As said before, Revo has the important bonus of being able to fine tune T/B/F settings and this is extremely useful in adjusting to various hardware mods - Each car is individual. I'm not inclined to trust Bluefin's internet route for map revisions.. Too many bad stories. But, available money plays a part.

At least you'd have experienced both!
It's a shame that Inters is ages away... :sad1:

Thanks Robin, I'm not totally convinced with the 'generic' map idea either, I believe all cars are slightly different in their own way so should be treated individually, I have read one or two bad stories too... :scared:
Looks like we're back to square one on this...

If you do go for bluefin, make sure you ring them up before you upload your map, and tell them your car is DSG. Their system automatically selects the manual map, and thats what You'll be sent! the bloke even said that when I rang up.
As far as generic maps are concerned, your cars ECU will change the timing itself if its too advanced or retarded. Bluefin runs less boost than Revo, so you wont have any worries of to much boost, and as far as hardware mods, they do the stage 2 if you put an exhaust on anyway for an extra £50.
Theres yet another spanner in the works for you :P
I'll probably be going to the nevw show this weekend and get it on the rolling road. If the power figures are decent I wont be getting revo done, I'll report back with the numbers :happy2:
