I had my stage one edition 30 on the rollers at JKM and it made 286bhp and 310 ft/lb not the 307bhp they say on there web sight. (Not that I was hoping for that anyway)

I am happy with my map. And I am sometimes surprised what my car can keep up with  (up to 70mph;)

If I was going to start again it would be a bluefin or r-tech.
All the others cost a lot more.

I would say stick with your bluefin or get a custom map.
 r-tech can make you a map to how you what it.
And from reading what others have to say about them they are great at what they do.

I've had both Bluefin and R Tech!! Which do i wish i had saved up the pennies for and chosen, R Tech!! Which was cheapest, R Tech!! Which is tuned to my particular car, R Tech!! Which offers the best after-service, R Tech!! Who did Fifth Gear choose for testing different fuels, R Tech!! I could go on....and on....and on!!  :notworthy:

I would only consider a tuner change if your planning on going stage 2+ and on. There is very little difference in terms of on the road performance between the likes of Bluefin, Revo and others. Or put it terms on whether is worth spending another £500 to switch tuners to gain very little.
Yes some tuners may give you 5-10bhp more, but if you don't have the tyres nor methods of controlling that traction with these FWD cars, it really isn't worth it.

I know that my bluefin 2 will happily keep with any other tuners stage code on the road, a lot also depends on its drivers skill aswell.
The DSG will also give you added gains on much more powerful cars just for the fact the way these GTi's put the power down without fighting torque steer and axel tramp than some other cars.

I too highly Rate Nick at R-Tech. Just a shame he's not closer to me as he would be someone I would want to tweak stuff etc.
