    I purchased a Bluefin from a user on here last week, very happy with the results. Not the most aggressive tune out of all of the brands, but good value for the small amount of money.

    Depends largely on your budget and the importance to be able to return the car to stock if wanted / needed.

    Personally i wanted a tune that was under $1,000 with the ability to return the car to stock myself (as their are no ECU dealers here in Newcastle) incase of a warranty issue etc.

    I initially had a Bluefin tune, nothing wrong with it at all, but i ended up wanting something a little more customisable for some future mods i would like to do.

    After recently selling my Bluefin to another member on here, i was weighing up between Viezu and DNA Tuning. I ended up choosing DNA Tuning because of some good feedback, some good dyno results, good value for money and the ability to return the car to stock myself via a hand controller.

    Huh, I thought the Bluefin was only good for 1 ECU, did you have to have it reset by the factory to down load the tune again.

    Correct. The previous owner had it reset before I purchased it.
    Not sure on the cost to do that, but I don't think it's huge, maybe around $200ish?
