If you can get round the ECU being scrambled?? :rolleyes:

Doesn't seem to be as much of an issue as many think.
I know of a May 2010 GTI that's taken Bluefin with no problems....and it's allegedly the newer cars that have the problem.

My GTI is April 2010 and is unlocked, it does seem to be the diesels.

They may update the ECU during a service to enable it on all cars.

North American GTIs seem to be locked already

Cheers guys, some good feedback there, and from your own accounts it seems like the bluefin would be the way forward for me, I much prefer a strong pull all the way through the rev range rather than an big surge that tapers off. It says on the superchips website a gain of 44HP would be had from the bluefin, has anyone dyno'd there cars to check these claims?

I've not seen one dyno'd to confirm, but a gain of 44 BHP over standard seems entirely possible with little risk to the rest of the engine.
I'd have thought 250-260 BHP is reasonable and seems more likely than getting to 275 BHP that some claim.

If you look at the output plot for the Bluefin, Superchips are claiming that the standard car they had was already at 249bhp and then went to 274bhp after tuning
Not sure if that's normal

I find it hard to believe it that any VW engine makes 40 BHP over what VW claim.

I'd also have thought they's get more than 25 BHP of a gain...you got more that that out of all variants of the 1.8T.
