I think the Bluefin is great... easy to set up and easily removeable. Takes longer than say GIAC to switch programs. Not often you switch back and forth anyways. Only criticism is i don't think they cater for stage 2 upgrades like filters and exhausts.
Judging by ur ex ST i doubt you'd be content with stock parts 182_blue :smiley: I have a carbonio intake and fitting a downpipe and cat to my existing cat back tmr... will see what it feels afterwards. Heard stories that i could lose power due to wrong fuel maps. So i may make a trip down to Manc to Awesome to get the APR map later.
Basically if you intend to mod ur car... i think will be better to get custom rolling road maps from the likes of APR. Just my opinion tho  :smiley:

yes still very driveable, to be honest you completely forget its installed (I've only put it back to standard twice in 10 months, once for service and once out of curiosity!), it drives just like the standard car at lower revs but when you want the power its there, very smooth with a similar power delivery to standard, just with bags more boost! I must admit I've just been out in mine in the glorious sunshine with bone dry roads and it has put me on a bit of a GTI high! So fast in the dry when you can get the power down fully! :evil:

hehe, well i have sort of promised myself im not going to go as mad as the ST, so a simple bluefin will suit me tbh (as long as theres no downsides), as imo the filters dont tend to add much anyway so i may stick with stock for power and just add bits like nav etc

bluefin just makes a good car brilliant, once you've savoured full throttle you'll never want to switch back to standard. torque is unbelievable compared to stock, buy one you wont regret it.

- 330bhp using Tesco 99 on their manual Ed 30 test car  :shocked:
