When I had mine fitted, they sent me the wrong map and sent me manual instead. There was quite big a flat spot. I called them, they sent me a file and BOOM! The car was transformed. Jim

Was the flat spot at high revs in 3rd, 4th and 5th gears, like the car was not getting enough fuel so it wasn't pulling as hard as you expected, or was it a lower revs?  Thanks.

It was most noticable in those gears yes. The flat spot was about 3k rpm then went once out of it. It didnt feel like fuel starvation more like a proper flat spot.

The car was transformed once i had the correct map.

So I've had the mk6 for 2 weeks and was itching for bluefin after having it a few years back in my scirocco and now it's uploaded...

It has transformed the car mostly past 5k rpm in my opinion when it gives you a big kick in the seat, and the car doesn't want to change down as much.

Mine although is a little hesitant under first prod of the accelerator like an almost split second between using the juice foot and the car actually going... (Anyone else had this)

Maybe bluefin/Ecu is learning my driving style?? I will monitor this tho..

Waiting for dry roads so I can use the extra POWER now!!

Try turning off the traction control , along with using Sport or manual, and see if it improves response  :wink:

I don't know anything about bluefin but must admit it sounds great :evil:

I've always had re-maps in the past but I am very tempted by the plug and play idea.

How much does bluefin cost and where is the best place to get one from?

What are the pros and cons for bluefin v a remap?

Bluefinned my car when it was about 700 miles old and really rate it. Car now has 9500 miles on it and its much nicer to drive with the remap.

I also asked them to tweak my map which they did.

They're about £350 from demon Tweeks and often come with a free k&n air filter or a money off voucher I you buy via demon Tweeks on eBay.
