    ^ 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.

    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.

    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.
