Superchips on the scene with the mk7 GTI...
« on: 11 June 2014, 13:34 »
…at last and minus Bluefin - so another tuning box hits the market!

Says it can be modified by 'end user' therefore adjustable like other plug in's so possibly more power to come from it.

wow, 30bhp increase for 400quid, where do i sign up.

Surprised superchips have taken so long, assumed they mustve spent a while trying and failing to get through the obd port.

but what i dont understand is that even apr had to take out the ecu on the mk6 so i wouldve thought the obd port wouldve been easier this time round if what they say is true?

Maybe APR found something in the coding (or bribed the ECU programmers!!) when they did the Cup racing cars?

I meant to exonians reply, if apr half inch some tech or knowledge from VW for their racing how are revo working on it too, why can't superchips whose main income is off the bluefin not be able to go through the obd? Seems odd to me
