had bluefin on my ed30 for nearly 3 years, its fantastic, super quick, super smooth. I've had no problems with them either, always found them to have very good customer service, and no, i dont have anything to do with them, just saying as i find them. i dont doubt that revo are also very good, dont really see the need to slag them off because i have a different map, its just that i find bluefin more to my liking, its so easy to revert back to standard for a visit to the stealers, and it's supposed to reset the flash counter so it cant be seen how many times its been flashed. not sure how true that one is though. pay your price and make your choice.

More stories please

I think it's common sense...

Stick to a reputable tuner and don't go chasing every last BHP and you are likely to be fine.

If people want to wait 3 years to play with their car, fine...personally I'll be bored by then...so I wouldn't hesitate in re-mapping from new or nearly new.
Past experience is enough for me to be happy to do so.

Of course, if you chase every last BHP and have the non-standard inlet/exhaust...then it becomes more obvious...

If you want a re-map then you want more power...that's obvious. If you are prepared to re-map whilst under warranty...then you know the risks.
Personally, if you take the risk, you'd be as well looking at the chance of an engine granade as an opportunity to tune further. How many people are likely to blow up their 2.0 TSI and replace with stock engine/turbo, at their cost?
Avoid the dealer network, and have uprated internals/turbo fitted for about the same cash...and get even more power.

It's a slippery slope...
You pay your money and make your choice.
