    Great shots, are any of them you? I took it easy because as we have both discovered it rains when you go for a drive in a new car. Also had the poor dog rolling around in the back.

    Going to resurrect this one...

    Thinking about getting a bluefin.

    Can anyone with a TSI vRS comment on fuel consumption after bluefin?

    +0.5L/100km on my 1.8. Worth it for the torque alone. Bigger fuel consumption hit with heavier wheels/tyres

    Best deal is JKM Motorsports/Performance (whatever they are called)

    Thanks Brad

    Has anyone got a bluefin on a post April 2010 VRS? There's a warning on the website about newer skoda's having encryption that stops the new program being loaded.

    We get into the high 6l/100km on the trip back from Bendigo, not sure what it was before the reflash. I found Superchips very helpful via e-mail.

    I've got a vRS TDi DSG running Bluefin and around town the fuel economy is about the same prior to putting the Bluefin on - average 6.8 to 7l/100km. Haven't had a chance to take it for a highway run and compare but guessing it'll be similar 5.5 to 6l/100km.

    Performance is great with the Bluefin though, the midrange grunt is huge. Didn't have a problem with the software loading.

    I'd be interested to know also as i have a jun10 build, complied oct 10 RS TSI with 1300 odd k's on it now, and will look at bluefin soon. Dont want to buy it then find my ECU is a locked one

    Drop Superchips/Bluefin an email. I found them very good to deal with. They don't care who you buy the product from, as long as you buy it.

    If there is still some uncertainty, then local purchase might be better as they will take it back if it doesn't work.

    There's another handheld that my mate bought for his SAAB. BSR - Car tuning, Chip tuning, Diesel performance, Ethanol conversion kit worth looking at.
