i had bluefin on my rocco in march 2009, made something stupid like 268bhp at superchips and then made 243bhp on a reasonably honest dyno (where the garage were bluefin agents) so around 250/255

Yeah thats sound right - i think to 250 is a good jump for stage 1 - Were you curves pretty smooth?

well considering the car made 220bhp stock it confounded my thoughts that in reality you just got a load of mid range torque, having had a spirited run over the cat and fiddle with a mate in a stock car it wasn't that much quicker when driving it hard

i know how long they spend on product development so will never go on one of my cars

Absolutely not, you wouldn't see which way I went in my Gti with Revo Stage 2 compared to a stock car, night and day difference.

Whats the hit on fuel consumption. I recently sold my mapped Edition 30 and that just loved petrol, it was very thirsty. (But went like stink!)

Just drove from gatwick to Leeds cruising at around 85 and we got 45 mpg with 2 of us and a boot full of luggage which I did not think was to bad, befor the bluefin I would of thought I may of got about 35-38 mpg.
