I have my Bluefin handset transferred from my MK5 to the MK6 but haven't put it in the car yet.

I have only done 5000 miles so might wait until after my first service..

Tempted though  :evil:

Just do it , let us know if can access the ECU??? :cool:

ECU access no problem.  :smiley:

I have already checked it once and then took it off again without driving it..

soooo glad I didnt get mine re-mapped.

I am running on std map at the moment and its a total bore! I reiterate that if the GTI could not be remapped I would give it back and go buy something a little more fun and powerful :sick:
I'd like to reiterate that I agree with you Gilly. I'll get mine serviced in a few weeks to see if VW pick up on the plugs. If not I may see what Revo have to say and whether they recommend running on the 95 RON map instead which will be a lot tamer but maybe smoother (I've never switched between maps as I'm too thick to fathom out the switch!!!) or whether they're looking at rejigging their software. If it pisses me off too much I may swap over to a new Leon Cupra R and leave that totally standard (Golf R would be nice but I quite like the hardcore approach of the Cupra R and it's much cheaper, particularly if I can find an ex-demo in a few months time, a mate has one on order so I'll see what it's like first).

very tempted, but if I test drive it I will never take it off again  :evil:

Just thought I would get to the first service to confirm the standard car is fault free..

Very sensible. :nerd:

Not sure the first service will be a thorough check though, oil change and a few basic checks is all they do.

By the way, 'sensible' people don't remap their car......





Go on, you know you want to. :evil:

I can understand this comment ....but if you have no problems...you achieve quite the opposite. :evil: ..you suddenly have a GTI Porsche-like speed and sound ...which is unexplainable to any normal GTI driver unless you take a seat next to the driver in a remapper... :shocked:

I have driven the MK V for 4 years unmodified...now driving the MK VI ABT I think is money VERY well spend..I would do it on the next GTI and the next and the next.....addiction pur sang . :cool:

BTW
ABT claims also high figures like 260-270 BHP and 390 Torque..(so maybe the problem is not in the figures  :huh:)
I do not care to verify that since it races fast enough for me.....and has mountains for breakfast even with my wife next to me and filled up with suitcases and 60 bottles of fine wine on the rear seats....it was out of the way you Germans all the way !!!!!!

Superchips say they haven't encountered one of the new encrypted ECUs yet, there seems to be a lot in the US though.

Can I just ask, Being as alot of money passes tho revo from customers off this site. Do u think they read these comments on forums? Or somebody posts a link. Be nice to see a guy from revo actually comment on all of this. May I also add, I left my number twice explaining my problem on their answerphone this last week because no1 answered the phones at revo. Guess how many times i got called back?  :laugh:
