Joesgti, PM sent.
Please note wheels are BBS VZ, a VAG specific wheel as per ebay item 160166771424, imported from
Germany, not bought in the UK. These wheels are BBS CH minus Motorsport logo, same as Pescara, but in 8 x 18 size. Apologies if previous post was not clear! :embarassed:

Superchips Bluefin want £599 for an extra 41BHP taking the car upto 238BHP (original GTI is 197BHP).

That to me seems like a rip off!!!

How do you find your bluefined remap?
And how long to install?

Can you take it off when it goes in for a service or something?

Yeah I've been v. happy so far.  Had it installed since 1k miles, now at 6.5k miles. I have it on all the time as it is perfectly manageable come rain or shine! But you can just re-install the standard map whenever you want, takes about 20 minutes (takes about 20 minutes to install new map as well), but when you first get the bluefin you have to firstly download the standard map (20 mins), send via. web to superchips, they send back new map (took 3 hours to get mine back IIRC), install that into car (20 mins) away you go!
HTH!!  :smiley:
