revo/bluefin economy ?

[matthewsimone]

hi all again lol what sort of difference does a remap make to the mpg of the gti havnt decided which map to go for yet edging towards bluefin as can turn on off easily and clears flashdrive etc, anyway back to subject just wandering what effect these have on economy mine normaly does just over 30mpg when driving sensible-ish lol cheers again
ps i no post should be in remap section but only related to mk5 so stuck it on here

Provided you drive in a similar manner after the remap then you'll more than likely see a better mpg figure than when stock.

cheers bacillus thats ok then was just a little worried about that especialy with fuel on the up again slowly

As Bacillus said, if you drive your car as normal your mpg is slightly better...  I'd like to see you try and control your right foot after a remap though

My mpg got worse on all accounts after the remap. Even when i drive sensibly, i tend to get about 3mpg less than i used to get. very surprising considering all the positive comments about better mpg after a remap on here.

I'm not doubting the experience of others, but just to give you another honest viewpoint.

I'm Revo'd by the way!

I get about 2mpg less than I did before Superchips Bluefin remap - but that is down to the fact I am enjoying it far more 

I now get 27 'ish as opposed to just under 30mpg.

On a motorway run when I am being good it is about the same - certainly not better though.

Hmm, I would have a close look at your PCV as it may be leaking...

so then so8 what is your oppinion of the bluefin map then as a whole ie the instalation process and the noticable gains etc as bluefin is the way im thinking of going to be honest, cheers, MATT

The bluefin is great if the cars still under warranty, but it does take around 15mins to swap between std & remap. Plus they're the only company that offer a warranty on your engine if it goes pop! They've been doing them discounted recently ... Bluefin for £450 or so instead of £600+ before xmas!

cheers ed30dsg bluefin it is then i rekon mine is the normal 200ps gti still with a year vw warranty so bluefin sounds best to me and the best price ive found is £390 all in
