Hi Guys,
I'm thinking about going with BF / SC Stage 2, just wondering if there is any advantage or disadvantage of using them over Revo, APR, GIAC performance wise?! I know the BF is the cheapest one, so it is a case of you pay for what you get or is there something I'm missing and there is a reason BF / SC is cheaper?!
Thanks,
Tom

ko4 yes do it, just make sure you get the correct map,
but in my experience and from reading alot of similar experiences, dont bother on a k03 200ps gti. best thing i did was change remap

I have an Edition 30, so yeah be mapping the K04...
Just reading some comments and some people dont seem too impressed!
When you say correct map, your talking DSG VS Manual right?!

I'm K04 and my Stage 2 Bluefin was up there numbers wise with some ST2+ maps so I for one was more than happy with my map! :happy2:

Like a lot of things in life people will only post with their negative experiences or if they have a hidden agenda regarding a rival product.
As the Green one says. :happy2:
-
no hidden agenda hedge, purely just negative experiences(apart from bluefin stage 1 which was good)
as i said, they have proven good on the k04, but on multiple k03 cars they have not perfomed as well as expected. I owuldnt have shelled out anextra £450 for another remap if i hadnt the reason to.

I have a similar dilemma, but I have been told that the Revo will not change the flash count on the ECU, hence unlikely to raise eyebrows at the dealers. I maybe wrong though.

Bluefin - awesome :happy2:
It's cheaper than others but performs just aswell. I got really good figures on a rr day recently and was just as fast as revo ed30's at santa pod :happy2:
-
Ultimately REVO will produce the bigger figures on an ED30 mainly due to it's fine tuning ability through the SPS+ controller, but BF/SC isn't far behind at all. If you are chasing the last ounce of performance out of your car then go for REVO. If you are happy with a powerful car that will still perform very well then I'd stick with your Bluefin. I've had SC on my four cars previous to this and was very happy with them all. :happy2:
