Ahk. Yeah, I gotcha.
Its not a case of - erase one and write in the other.

Definitely going to have to make a holiday of it, then.
Cheers

^ the gains on a vRS TDi would be great. They claim approx 33hp and 83nm gains for the vRS TDi engine

Got the Bluefin tune on a 2009 TDi RS and can vouch the gains are great! Had it almost 2 years with drama.

According to the Superchips/Bluefin tune website, its estimated to be 202bhp (148kw) & 417nm now.

Can anyone say 151TDI?

I got the Bluefin for my 103/320 TDI for $598 which gives performance very close to the OP's (132/395). Because my car is 2008 it was all done on car over the internet - 20 minutes to save original, send to Superflash, instant response, 15 minutes to flash, then test drive.

Off ebay from Demon Tweeks UK (Bluefin with K&N filter is £364). They quote £40 shipping, but that's because they charge shipping for the K&N filter that comes with it which is supposed to be shipped free (according to the picture of the filter). I had a long arguement with them saying they should only have charged the £25 they have listed on their auction for 1kg (just the packed Bluefin weight). They ended up refunding me £15 just to get rid of me. I'm a stickler for people sticking by their listings.

You really should even be able to get the VAT (20%) taken off that, which would make it about $110 cheaper (wouldn't count on them doing it though). I had a seller refund me £2 VAT without me even asking for it.

The car was driven and we allowed everything to settle for 20mins or so, but couldn't resist giving it a few accelleration tests to see the difference pre-tune vs after-tuning.

Apart from feeling much more torquier and free revving, the car is approx 2 seconds faster on the 0-100kph test (went from an average 9.6 seconds down to 7.8 )

Quoting my original post, i just drove the Octavia again this evening. It's done about 800km since the ECU was tuned and everything is running perfectly. It really goes well now, especially from about 2,000 - 4,000rpm - heaps of torque. Feels like a different car now.

I drove it when it was stock too, so i know what im comparing it to.
