Reply With QuoteAnyone with a Mk7 GTI using a Bluefin unit?
I also understand that the unit does a reflash of your ECU, so I guess the dealership will be able to tell that it's been tuned even if you remove the flash prior to a service?

Yep!!Originally Posted by mattaus
Wow, just had a look and they're claiming 230kW and 460Nm for the Mk 7 GTI. That's damn impressive for the standard GTI. Might have to look at upgrading my Mk 2 Occy to the Mk 3!!!
Although they're claiming the stock GTI Mk 7 makes 198kW? Meh?
Their stock figures for the Mk 3 occy look more reasonable and compare to the VW stock figures.

That's...interesting. In a "how the hell did they come up with that?" kind of way.

They look better. Still good gains compared to APR etc.

Apart from the lack of local support is there any reason not to purchase a bluefin for Mk7 GTI directly from a UK retailer? Are there any mapping differences to take into account local fuel quality or temperatures?

i have ran bluefin in my mk6 gti and mk6 r since 2011 and i would say the support is probably better and it suits my needs as they are open during brisbane evening times.
they respond to emails quick.
it is probably the most conservative and safest tune but at the cost of lack of grunt (less than local tunes).
