Title: New bluefin handset and map for £299 .. Is that good?
Post by: omeydz on May 09, 2014, 12:34:41 am

Found this deal for my mk6 1.4 turbo. Is 299 a good price?

My mk6 has no other performance mods aside from a CAI.

Cheers!

For a 2nd hand reset handset its the going rate.

IMO you would be much better going with a different tuner BUT everyone has their own opinion when it comes to tuners.

Well im not doing anything more in terms of power mods and heard good things about bluefin with standard setups so im willing to give them a go.

The 299 is for a brand new handset and map. Not 2nd hand.

For a simple plug and play remap, Superchips are worth the money. I have used them on all the cars I have owned, bar my Octy VRS which was done by Shark. I am currently using the Bluefin on my current car and have no issues with it.

Hi There,

I'd love to know what impact the Bluefin Stage 1 remap has on the insurance premium?  Anybody got a rough % increase? 

Just enjoying driving mine with a GFB diverter valve that I replaced the torn OEM part with last weekend.  It's a whole new car now but when the novelty wears off I'm going for a remap.

Cheers.
