....

About time I said a big thankyou to Steve aka Phil for his organising - It was very well ordered without feeling over controlled - A great relaxed atmosphere.

Sorry I didn't get the chance to say goodbye properly to a lot of people - I took SteveP out for a Milltek demo.

Gutted I missed this :(

So no manual ed30 bluefin ran then :( I hope mine is achieving closer to the quoted 300 than the DSGs.

I might have to try and sort a dyno run to see what I get.

I think that might be a good idea as all the stock manual and DSG ED30 ran near identical figures on JKM's dyno.  :undecided:

Lee. you need to get your map checked out, got a feeling theres abit of a pattern developing where Bluefins maps are not cracked up to what they say they are. You may be being optimistic if you think yours in pulled towards 300bhp.Your car goes very simular to GTijames car , so 275-280 is more realistic. I like you to proove me wrong on this one,  but if you can mate go down there one day , ill come down aswell.
(Hurdy hasnt dismissed a visit aswell  :wink:) at some stage :smiley:

Shame you couldnt come down, If i had a Bluefin after this weekends results, i would certainly be very Pi$$ed off. Like shaun said, shame there wasnt a Revo ed30 there so it would of put any icing on the cake.

What was clear though there wasnt any difference whether the car was manual or DSG whether it was standard or Remapped.

im not pi***** off about having a Bluefin, it still feels that same as before the results from JKM, im interested in trying a Revo map but im not sure there will be any physical difference

The difference is visable in the a balance torque curve rather then being up n down as the Bluefin maps seem to be. What you want is a steady high as possible flat torque curve.So the feeling of accelation is a good a feeling like when you first nail it when in a Powerful car.

ie just like steveP's graph, rather then Chungsters or Telboys ( not sure whether hes posted his yet)

but thats how SC do their maps tho (unlike others). They just take the standard map (which gives flat torque curve between 2k rpm and 5.5k rpm) and bumps it up by 20% or whatever. So their revised map will give a very similar looking torque curve to the standard one.

The other tuners do their maps differently. Some like to give u a quick sharp burst of torque.

doesn't mean its not as good having a more curvy curve! in most cases, the curvier one will still have more torque over the flatter looking one, over a good "useable" part of the rev range.

just my own view of course!

As a comparison (different rollers I know), this is a Revo ED30 graph..
