Why next year??
I changed my insurance when I got the bluefin - it was actually cheaper than I was already paying.
I think you're scared. :wink:
You've driven a bluefinned GTI so you know the difference. Why the hesitation?

Not scared, but want to have something to fiddle with next year. :grin:

It has taken so much energy to get the bloody rear bumper fixed, I feel a bit exhausted.

Unfortunatly in Dubai we are not spoilt for choice on tuning options, this is why I went for Revo. The local dealer seems pretty good for Dubai standards. Finding good service here is like trying to find rocking horse sh!t - it does not exist! As soon as I know Revo has resolved there Stage 1 issues, I will inform the local dealer and make sure he has the new map for my car and get it "remapped".

I intalled a boost guage, and in stock mode I am getting around 12-13psi boost, with the current Revo S1 I am getting 22-24psi...no wonder the tune has issues.

Anyway, SteveP I would appreciate the updates when you get them from Revo

GolfTi, what was your car's BW?
Mine was BW8/9. My ECU might be locked. Only way to find out, I suppose, is to order one and try. If it does not work, then I won't bother as the Bluefin is probably the only re-map which allows the ECU to be returned to stock very easily.

Gilly, can you clarify the readings to satisfy my ignorance, please.

Your BHP is 196.1? The graphs show different readings.
And the torque?

iirc as i dont have the print out any more, just that picture.

The first run - 172bhp 200lbs torque

The second run - 196bhp 260lbs torque

As you can see the huge dip over 4500 revs where there seems to be a misfire.. so there was no point in doing any more runs. This was with the map removed.

Out of interest, what map is used after Revo remove theirs?

stock from what i believe. revo upload the original map and have it on their system. so i was told that this was put back on. With the revo on it was barely making those figures shown... so not much difference was found between stock and remap.

fingers crossed it should all be solved tomorrow!!  :evil:

not running quite as well as it should (very rich I have been told). but it will do for now as its only on for a few weeks until the new Revo map is out :nerd:
