Bluefin and Aussie dollar.

Thanks. Definately not trying to go all out mods on this, just wanted it a bit peppier for a reasonable price. All the aussie feedback ive had on stage 1 bluefin has been very positive so I'll see how I go.

If someone wanted to put CAI & free up the exhaust a little on the RS TDI Cr170 motor, what chip/re-flash/ECU would you suggest Brad??

My manager has been running Bluefin (stage 1) with a CAI and Miltech exhaust in a Mk V GTi with DSG for approx 2 years now.

He's had no issues and the car goes like the bat outta hell. He got a 10% improvement in fuel economy when he put the CAI on to.

Cheers

buggered if I know - wasn't intending going down that path & didn't research it.

I'd probably look for a defined upgrade path similar to what APR / Oettinger offer or somebody that can run your car on the dyno & customise the maps.

When I had the Subaru, MRT (who I have a low regard for) offered a structured upgrade path (XA,XB,XC kits) for Subarus. There was also a guy at Menai that could get into the ECUs and weave some magic while running the car on the dyno.

At a minimum, I think that if you did intake/exhaust mods with a generic map, then you'd want to make sure the mixtures weren't running too lean, the boost wasn't OTT & the exhaust gas temps weren't OTT - so a bit of VCDS logging might be useful.

Which CAI? Did it introduce a lot of induction noise?

Does anyone know when the OBD port became blocked? I have an 6/09 build TDI superb I want to put a tune into and I would like to buy a Bluefin rather than pull the ECU out and send it away if I can.

Had the APR stage 1 fitted today ,quoted $1695 , but sale on in december at $1440 , very nice indeed .

Only sububan drive so far , but much more torks , feels more relaxed , with the urgency there when you push on from 2200rpm .

Going to have to be carefull with tyres as you feel it gripping hard .

Cant wait to hit the rural B roads .
