Heavy D, are the others miles ahead of the Superchips Bluefin then? I installed a Stage 1 Bluefin map on my ED30 yesterday and (after a slight mix up with Manual/DSG maps :fighting:) I have to say that it just feels mega for a remap, the boost feels so strong and linear.
I'm more than happy with what its done to mine up to now. I'll probably never go further than Stage 2 though as I want to keep it as reliable as possible and from experience the more after market bits that you bolt on, the more warning lights and issues crop up (maybe that's just a bad experience with my old Audi TT though!!).
I've got a Milltek downpipe and 200 Cell cat in the garage waiting to go on, once I've got spare funds for a decent induction kit (ITG, Twintake or EVOMS hopefully). Is the jump to Stage 2 noticeable or would anyone suggest just leaving the Stage 1 map on to retain a bit of fuel economy?
Thanks, Mike

We're offering our full 76mm TBE and Motor sport cat along with a stage one re map and panel filter for £1200.00 inc vat fitted at the moment.

Yes. You need a CAI, TBE, HPFP and intercooler

WRONG!!!!!! Coming out with things llike this could cost people thousands more than they would like to spendor than they need to spend
The minimum REQUIREMENT is downpipe and HPFP. Other mods just make it better.
HPFP - Yes. Or you will get fuel cut. Stage 2+ is designed around this pump.
Downpipe with sports cat or decat. - Yes
Intercooler -No. Ideally you will have one fitted to reduce heatsoak, but its not a requirement. Worthwhile having, but lots don't bother.
CAI - No, but likethe intercooler its a good idea if you want to mximise your output.
CAT back exhaust. No. Not unless you want the noise.

don't tell me, tell Revo. it's what they've posted on their website. they don't make bolt on parts so they don't stand much to gain for recommending parts from other companies so i have no reason not to believe them, particularly when it relates to their own software.
i know a lot of people don't get an IC, if it were me and my car i would. i'm not going to suggest to another member something i wouldn't do for my own car. simples.
i know most of the restrictions in the exhaust are in the DP, but if you're going for an off the shelf exhaust e.g. Milltek you'll need to get a connector sleeve fabricated for the DP to mate to the OEM cat back. and of course that ignores the fact that flow is limited to the most restricted point in the system. whilst most of the restrictions are in the OE DP, there are some in the catback too. why do something if you're not going to do it properly?
tbh i think if saving money is your objective, then tuning shouldn't be your thing. if you're even considering Stage 2+ on an Eddy you need to factor in a host of other mods as well - brakes, suspension, clutch etc. plus higher running costs, insurance. the whole exercise is expensive so to save £300 on a CAI, £350 on a cat back etc. is absurd.

There's not much wrong with the Remaps from Superchips on an Ed30 at stages one and two chap. My car just yesturday absolutely left a brand new Nissan 370 on a straight mile onto the motorway, and that's 323 bhp v6 3.7 litre lump under the bonnet :laugh:
Stage 3 and from what I gather, that's when your statement is correct,and I would look elsewhere. if your going stage 2+ then all your doing is bhp figure hunting..
