Revo stage 1 vs Bluefin

[Snoopy]

A while back my local VW dealer said they had there demo car at the time done (they are also a VWracing dealer so it was the VWR superchip one) and got a gain of 47bhp.

Er not quite, mine was in the showroom from Nov09 took the car March 1st 2010 mine is locked off scrambled ECU needs to come out. Tried Blufin wont take it

I didn't comment on GTDs...

I think the GTd's could be more likely to blow turbo's with re-maps on them thats why there scrambled, and also save VW having to replace them under warrenty's???

I suspect it's more down to known issues with DPFs and remapped diesels...they clog up, and people expect VW to replace them...
Many a remapped Mk5 has had a DPF problem...

Mine's Common rail so the dpf is not much of a problem!!

Yeah, right...
Since when did the DPF care whether it's PD or CR that's pressurising the fuel that's being injected to cause the soot?
Re-map a diesel and you produce more smoke/soot...giving the DPF a harder time.

My vote is for Bluefin. It's a less aggressive map matching the original graph but with higher levels of power and torque.
The difference is around 40 -50 bhp but it feels much better than that.

Ease of use is brilliant too , it's a 10 minute job to restore to the original map (not a 'replacement' original but the original which is stored on the handset).

Superchips have a 7 day trial to make up your mind.

If you don't like it - send it back.
If it doesn't work - send it back.
If you get too scared - send it back.

no problems with my DPF cars done 5k now feels it a bit like your slagging my motor off Ess3

Not at all...
But petrols suffer from different problems to diesels once chipped as the engines behave differently. Soot will always be a by-product of cranking the wick up on a diesel by the very nature of the fuel...and DPFs don't like excessive soot.
not slagging your car off at all...just pointing out that DPFs can give problems on a standard car if the duty cycle isn't ideal...and I have more friends that have had problems with DPF equipped cars, than have had not....so the issue exists.
And where certain tuning companies are concerned - "it's not our problem mate".

I looked very closely into remapping a Mk5 PD170 - the DPF issue rang alarm bells.
