Revo stage 1 vs Bluefin

[dxbgti]

Looking to do my first mod and been thinking of either bluefin or Revo stage 1. I live in Dubai where there is a revo dealer, however I could get bluefin posted over no problem, would bluefin be a risk as im not in europe? would revo be a better choice for power and torque? whats you opinions guys, most of the roads here are straight, im looking for good acceleration improvements both low end from low speed but I also wan to be able to have good improvement in the midrange, so when I put my foot down at 70mph I want it to pull hard. cheers!

Is the difference like night and day? I wont have the cchance to test drive one before I do the mod which makes it a little more difficult, would like some more feedback regarding the overall feel once remapped to stage 1.

With Revo is it possible to map back to stock for services etc. I dont want to loose my warranty if I go ahead

Have a read of This thread. not sure if Revo have sorted it out yet.

I havn't seen any complaints about the Bluefin..

Revo will show up on the flash counter.

Bluefin, you keep your own OEM map incase for dealer visit.

If you have a mk6, id avoid Revo till they sort out the issues linked above.

Yes i would say so. I dont have my remap on at the moment as the car went back to VW for a change of spark plugs and software update (i took the map off before it went in). At the moment the car just feels slow and sluggish.... cant wait to put the map on next week

Bluefin also increments the counter, it didn't on the MK5.

They told me they may look into doing it for the MK6 in the future.

meaning that each time I flash it with bluefin it will log it in my cars ecu?

Yeah I read the post regarding revo's problems with the mk6, all I need to be able to do is flash it back to stock for the servicing. I get the impression that both flashes will yield similar results?

Been following various remapping option for the last few months
Revo or Morego gives more aggressive power delivery
ABT good reputation in Europe but too expensive
VWR basically use the same map as Superchip and I like the option of remapping the car back to standard for service!
The sensible thing is to go for

VWR/Superchips give less midrange torque, so they work the turbo less hard, giving less heat...and less wheelspin for the heavy footed.
REVO certainly gives better numbers...but I personally find their delivery can lead you to be fighting the car, as opposed to making smooth progress...so the extra power doesn't always equate to a faster car on a back road.
