Title: Grin like a cheshire cat.
Post by: Bane on July 30, 2011, 10:50:35 pm

I've joined the Bluefin set.
Did the upgrade this evening and was a little surprised that I got a near instant response after I uploaded the map-I wasn't expecting to get a response until monday at the earliest as it says in the instructions that after uploading,a response will be given within 8hours Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. :grin:
But I got the new map from Superchips and,well,........... OMFG!!! :surprised: :surprised:

I can't get over how the car now responds.I have to admit that I was a bit sceptical  that a playing with the cars electronic brain would give this kind of result,but I'm very impressed with how much smoother it feels and the in-gear acceleration is warp-speed quick compared to what it was.And even then it was no slouch!

Only thing I will complain about,is that when I took it out,there was a lack of competition to 'test' it against...... :driver:   

Superchips,I salute you for coming up with this brilliant idea for those of us who don't have readily available access to a tuning company with a remap system and a rolling road. :congrats:

How much does it affect your insurance?

Too many threads making me want a remap. My insurance want £50 (23, 3 yrs ncb, all mods declared)

Got your brakes on yet?

If its a manual, take it easy with the 5th / 6th gear acceleration.  Its too easy to eat the clutch  :sad1:
