Most dealers will retro-fit it for £150  :smiley:

Some forum members offer a fitting service so works out a little bit cheaper; depends on if you're going to use it mind.  Personally I don't like cruise control

If you're handy with a screwdriver and removing trim then its a DIY job although you will need VAGCOM to code it in

Urm not 100% sure but I think it raises the engine limiter and gives you full manual control so doesn't shift up automatically even when in manual mode

Hurdy or SteveP are the best people to speak to as they both had it on their ED30's  :smiley:

Would you go revo or bluefin?

Neither

Went in a Stage One REVO and was left feeling very disappointed.  Went in the exact same car with an R-Tech remap and the difference was night and day

Never been in a Bluefinned car so can't comment on how well that goes

300+bhp  :cool:

Abit optimistic.


expect for stage 1 one, around 270bhp before you want to add exhaust and intake to hit 280's.
300 bhp is only achievable with exhaust/intake on stage2.
stage 2+ brings up 330+bhp.

Have a look at Superchips website, they are quoting 307bhp for a stage 1, 321bhp for a stage 2 and 337bhp at stage 3.

Most will tell you exactly how optimistic those figures are for a Stage 1  :lipsrsealed: :laugh: :laugh:

Peak figures are all pub talk anyway - what you want is the most 'average power'  :wink:

And their Rolling road said my car standard was 255bhp :laugh:. Their Rollers are quite famous for this very reason chap.

VW quote 230 bhp, and mine runs precisely that on Dyno dynamics when she's stock.

I wasted my money when i went on their rollers.

The Customer care though, i cant rate high enough. :smiley:
