    Sadly the MTM M-Cantronic doesn't seem to be available for my Golf V 1.9 TDI. This unit sounds very interesting.
    I wonder if they will release it in the future ???

    Okay, now I'm interested in the Superchip. It seems that this might be a bit cheaper whilst still giving good results. The Oettinger option is around $2000 which is a bit pricey for me.

    Who should I contact in Australia to get this done ????

    Oettinger make a good product but from my understanding are not worldly known for there Diesel tuning.
    Peter is the Australasian agent but has an agent in Perth. You can contact him through his web here. Tell him you were talking to me.

    Don't scare the kiddies Mischa, you know how sensitive they are

    Here's another snip from their web:

    What does the SUPERCHIPS warranty offer?

    Your vehicle is warranted for life against engine only defects caused by the upgrade whilst it is in New Zealand or Australia, or until you no longer own it.

    Not anymore its not.!!!
    From what ive been reading on MKVForums this is no longer the case.
    All info regarding this has been removed form the Bluefin/Superchips website.

    You can buy the Bluefin flash tuner straight from the Superchips UK website, and have it delivered to your doorstep for approx $960. This is arguably the best tuning product out there, because it allows you to easily return to the stock ecu calibration whenever you like, and that price is half what the likes of Oettinger charge for their tune.

    The only thing holding me back is that I have a DSG gearbox and I've become a victim of all the scaremongering (probably instigated by VW themselves to deter people from 'chipping' their cars) out there suggesting that the box can't handle any more than about 380 Nm. The Superchips tune for the GT TDI produces 430Nm (and it seems there is only one tune available on the Bluefin), so I'm obviously a bit concerned about it being too much for the gearbox.

    Unfortunately, when I contacted Superchips with my concerns, I got a very generic response that sounded like it came from someone in the PR department, not someone with technical knowledge of the product.

    So although I've been assured that their product is "designed to operate within safe tolerances so as not to compromise vehicle reliability", I'm still not convinced. Why would the likes of Oettinger and Tunit offer a map with much less torque for the DSG models if there wasn't an issue? Damn it, I love the DSG, but this torque issue is a real pain in the proverbial.
