blue fin vs Shark performance
Gazzgti:
Opinions on the above two, looking to go stage 1 but would prefere to use a self tuning system.
big al:
I have a mate who is about to get trained up by Shark, have heard they are pretty good.
Not used either myself yet, but think Iwill be getting him to install it on my car in the near future.
PDT:
Just out of interest, why is a Selftune system of interest?
Gazzgti:
just so i can return to stock and can order without having to book a time/day
PDT:
Thats understandable.
Selftune systems do have some benefits but the big downside is that you often get a generic map rather than one thats set up for your car. fuelling and boost is often ok but timing is usually mapped on the safe side, often too far retarded to be extra safe.
I have 300 self tune systems in stock but only sell them on mail order basis for diesels, and to people that have their petrolcars mapped in-house. petrols require much more accurate mapping and I dont feel that compromising the product to be safe is the right way to go just to get mail order sales.
Both options you have mentioned seem to get ok results.
The other option is to have your car professionally custom mapped and ask them to keep both the original and tuned maps on the device, best of both worlds!
