Privilige relieved me of £53 when I changed from GTI to ED30!!

I realise the risk involved, but surely with something like Bluefin the insurer would never know you had it. Can't think of a circumstance where they would find out. I deal with Insurer's on a daily basis and most of them don't know there ar*e from their elbow  :laugh:

its a big risk though, if they really wanted to know they could find out, and 20k + loss is alot for £155, but the thought did cross my mind LOL

I personally wouldn't risk it. Its best to do things the right way, even if it costs a bit more.

Going to do about 2000 miles in France at the end of next month, will look more into Bluefin when I get back. The GTI should be a bit "looser" then lol! Now I wonder what it'll do top speed? My S4 was supposed to only do 155mph but went quite a bit past that on the Autobahn....  :tongue:

I hear what you guy's are saying, but I dread to think the amount of money I have thrown at insurer's over the years and never made a claim.

If you don't give them reason to look then why would they??  :huh: There more likely to be interested in a ten year old Cav turbo than a brand new Golf??? Just my opinion, and if I can get away with it I will.......

So putting a "Superchips" or "Bluefin" sticker on the boot isn't a good idea then... lmao!  :laugh:

N U Direct had a fit when I asked them if I could take my S4 around the Nurburgring... So I did 2 laps anyway with under 1000 miles on the clock!
I think I'd have got a divorce if I'd smacked the car up as we were touring europe for 2 weeks and this was our 3rd day there...

Great fun though, and plenty of eye candy there if you know what I mean.... :smug:

The APR remap is probably better known as it is used in the USA as well as over here in blighty. A few of us know in detail what and how they have been carrying out development on the 2.0TFSI engines and the versions of them. This is because the development happened at Awesome GTI whilst some of us were there and Gazbutmk5gti also had his car used as a test bed for the ED30 mapping developments. :nerd:
