I purchased my Bluefin stage 1 from Demon Tweeks in the UK fir about $650 shipped. The change in power and torque is great, but I'm coming from a 270rwkw S14a Silvia so the power is still not enough for me. I'm going stage 2 shortly. But all in all I'm pretty happy with the product, service so far.

I have had a look at some Australian distributors but the cost is around $250-300 more than sourcing the unit directly. Not a massive amount of cash but a worthwhile saving. From my limited knowledge the software still has to come from the UK so whether the new unit is sourced from an Australian distributor or from a UK retailer shouldn't really matter?

So you're saying bluefin/superchips in the UK will undercut their own distributors in Aus and allow retailrs in the UK to give the unit and tune to you for $300 cheaper than a local distributor can give it to you? This does not seem right to me, particularly noting the AUD is not great against other foreign currencies at the moment either. What price are UK quoting you?

I paid exactly $638 aud and that includes exchange rates and delivery. I didn't go directly through Superchips UK. I went through Demon Tweeks. The support and service has been awesome from Superchips UK so far.

As far as I'm concerned, the support I would get from any Aus distributor vs the UK business is no different. All communication is via email anyway so I'm not fussed whether it comes from Sudney or UK. Same same

Looking at 740AUD for a mk7 GTI delivered with a 'free' K&N panel filter.
