Who's running a Bluefinned mk6?

yeah i guess so. on my clio gains were very minimal (about 6 bhp or so maybe 12bhp with an exhaust and sport cat). the lads with 197/200 RS with remaps do say they make a difference but in bang for bucks terms on a turbo car  you get more for your money IMO

Did you RR the Clio before and after??

That you do 

Never had my clip on the rollers but all the lads I know that did never got close to 197bhp

A 197 Clio makes about 185 if your lucky! Bloody liars.

A remapped GTI will leave a standard one with the owner feeling like his car must be f**ked.

I had a beanie wearer in an '04 Clio glued to the back of mine the other day coming off a roundabout and by my reckoning he was probably faster. Didn't get a chance to see which Clio it was as after couple of miles he peeled off down a slip road. The shame of it  :embarassed: :embarassed:

yeah the clio 172/182 are awesome motors.

my 2004 clio 182 cup was pretty rapid. was a match for type r's and gti's of the same era.

the 182 actually felt faster than my 197 as the engine is similar but has better spread of torque and they're much lighter than the later clios.

on the track a 197 would be faster as the chassis really is amazing but in the real world i would say the 182/172 is probably quicker - or is it just bigger cars feel slower but your actually going quicker than you think?



I'm on the look out for a track day car and it will either be a 172/182 as they're so good for the £ or maybe saxo vts (if i can dig out my burberry cap)

My Brother-in-law used to have a 172 which felt pretty quick. I had a Leon Cupra 1.8T 180ps at the time, and on a straight road, had the legs on him...just.

Got my Bluefin delivered last week, had a chance to 'use' it today and I have to say it's worth every penny. The increase in power is very smooth and midrange increase is very very impressive..

Love it.

Nice one Jim, happy Christmas to you   

Make sure the speed warning is set on the dash as mine still amazes me how it gets to silly speeds with no real effort 

[mkviken]

good stuff

what car is it on?

have you tried it as a fault code reader yet?

It's on my MK6 GTI, I haven't tried anything on it apart from uploading the new map.  I'll take a look at the other things over Christmas.

Mine made 250 ish on "REVO" standard map but that was with all the induction, exhaust and FMIC.

But my god yeah a remap is worth it, whatever one you go for, totally transforms the car! Great fun!

Seems pretty low 

mine made 207 std & 264 with revo stg one... it was sha99ed after that though
