Hi Terry,

Good to meet you today  :smiley:

I think if you are able to get to see them in person then thats probably not a bad idea, but as NewGolf said with a calm and firm manner.

Hope you get it sorted.

I dont rate Bluefin to be honest based on various online reviews and knowing a few people who have it.

What you should do is get a refund and get Revo on there IMO. I dont think there has been a bad Revo result yet.

Good to meet you, Tony Terry :afro:

As everyone has said - Polite but firm - You get more with honey than you do with vinegar! (Ask any female).

IIRC, your plots were very lumpy with a big dip. I'm no expert but I think that's what shows something as wrong, not just max numbers.

As everyone knows, my Revo Stage2 was well down from expectations but at least the curves were all smooth and in correct proportion to each other. I made the mistake of letting her idle for at least 15 minutes before rolling - Duh!! But as I posted elsewhere, I'm confident in Revo and know they'll sort it out - I don't have to think how I should approach them because I know they'll want to get it right of their own accord without prompting. I'm seeing the Revo guys at Castle Combe next weekend anyway.

What exhaust do you have?

Just to add to this..

I have Revo stage 1 on a standard GTi and mine made 231bhp on the rollers, a little lower than I was expecting if I'm honest. I'm very happy with how the car drives, and 30bhp extra over standard is enough to keep me happy so I'm not bothered. The point I'm making is that sometimes expectations get a bit beyond what's realistic. This probably isn't helped by the over optimistic gains quoted by the tuning companies themselves.

Also, for some reason, probably due to the smaller turbo in the standard GTi, we don't see the gains that the ED30 boys see with their K04 turbos. I reckon, on a standard GTi all you can realistically expect from a remap on it's own is around a 30bhp gain..

Ignore everyone, go in there and beat the f**k out of them with your Bluefin module :evil:

Only Kidding of course :wink:

I've had Superchips on my Diesels, but moved away from them as I didn't believe that they would be able to deliver what I was looking for with all the mods I was planning. If you are planning on getting more mods, then Bluefin isn't the map you need anyway.

If you are wanting more mods then I'd be more inclined to come from the angle of wanting a refund as it didn't live up to expectations and didn't deliver what they advertised. :smiley:
