I think someone needs to get to their local beautician for a 'back, sack and crack' wax

ive had the bluefin fitted for a couple of weeks now. i recon its the best remap ive ever had.

fuel consumption for the weekly commute into town and around the village is still 29.5 exactly the same as it was before.

the car is very much the same until 3000rpm

from 3 to 6500 rpm its a beast,and the chassis handles it really well absolutely no torque steer.

wheel spin in the dry, in 1st is obviously going to happen and does if you want it to.

2nd gear is ok maybe a slight twitch if its going up a hill etc.

all in all the power delivery is very friendly, but man is it rapid 

very simple to install, good quick delivery, cant say anything negative

anyone thinking of it, go for it you wont be dissapointed

People using BLuefin, think about this:

Ed.30 has the same intercooler as normal GTI. S3, which has donated the engine to Ed.30 uses a bigger intercooler, and that only with 265hp!

And now with 300hp your engine and turbo are running quite a bunch hotter.

Maybe, for your own good, you should give some thought to a new, bigger intercooler and maybe an exhaust system with large bore downpipe.

....I'd like to quote Mike from Forge (USA) commenting about our stock intercoolers on the 'standard' GTI:

"The stock intercooler IS, indeed, very efficient. Given it's poor placement, however.

It is very effective at cooling the charge pressure to a given degree, but it's placement obviously leaves room for improvement.

There has been testing done, however, and I wish I had the data handy, but I don't, that shows the stock intercooler has the thermal capacity to allow charge pressure temperatures to be cooled to as low as ambient under certain conditions. This is VERY effective by ANY intercooler's standards.

If, for example, the stock intercooler, were removed from it's current placement between the radiator and AC condenser, and moved to the front of the AC condenser altogether, it's thermal efficiency would likely improve, but only to a degree.

If our kit, is used for example, and a second core is added, adding to the thermal capacity of the stock unit, it's efficiency, again improves, to a degree.

Lastly, replacing the stock unit altogether, can also provide an improvement, but again to a degree. Though I have yet to see before and after dynos of a stock replacement (stock location) unit as of yet.

By starting with a fairly efficient stock unit, you can make improvements sure, but a lot of the work has been done for you, and the stock intercooler is hardly anything to scoff at. It has even been used as an upgrade on the older 1.8T applications with great success, and it's size and thermal dispersion capacity is phenomenal as an OEM part on any comparable application"

Which I think puts into question how worthwhile a replacement intercooler (FMIC) would be. It's not as if a fast road-going Ed30 is continually subjected to the sort of heat levels experienced on the track. In my opinion.
