Interesting post on another thread :

http://uk-mkvs.net/forums/t/152364.aspx

Look at the post near the bottom by "Superchips"

- Bluefin reduced to £499 + 10% discount

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

- All recent Bluefins reset the flash count to 0

Just out of interest.. whats the flash count??

its apparently what tells VW how many times the ecu has been flashed (or mapped in this case), but other say that you cant completely hide it from VW

will do mate, the old ST one used to take about 45mins on the first go then less after, but the ed30 is a different set up, and requires activating via pc apparently

superchips send you the handset, you plug it into the port under the steering wheel and download the standard map, takes about 20 mins. connect the bluefin to your pc after you have installed the supplied cd software, it sends your map to superchips. mine took 1hr to get back, they text or email to tell you its ready. plug the bluefin back into your pc and it downloads the uprated map. plug it into the port in your ed30 and 20 mins later you've got yourself a missile, get some sticky tyres- happy days :grin: once you've tried it you wont go back(as the actress said to the bishop). pick up the phone and get it done. :evil:
