Bluefin Available

[Johnski21]

Hi

 

Not sure if this is a repost but I've just seen that the bluefin is available from Superchips for the Mk7 gti/Octavia 230 engines etc

 

I've been looking for a remap for my 230 for sometime now and this just adds to having another good option.

 

Thought it might be useful anyone in the same boat

Mines on stage 1 (220 though not 230) and it totally transforms the car,

Your diff will make better use of it though

The linked power curves on that page show the stock engine doing 260bhp!!

Is that a one off anomoly of the engine they tested, or do most/all (my?) 230's put out that kind of power...

Do you have dsg or manual?  I'm still toying with the idea but not sure if the manual clutch is going to cope.

I think it's more likely that the rolling road is very optimistic.

Think I've seen installation of heavy duty clutch recommended if you are going to actually use the extra power.

Mines a DSG and has no issues  with the power.

How do you find putting the extra power down?

Do you have a super chips remap?

In the dry & warm weather it's manageable (just), In anything else it's pointless. I'm selling to buy a Golf R this week hopefully, need AWD with this power & torque.

No, I have a remap from the guys at Oscarli

Ooo very nice! I think the Golf R has drawn a few VRS owners on here, and a colleague at work has just got rid of his MK3 Estate for a facelift R. Lovely motor.

 

Putting the standard 220 down in non-dry conditions can sometimes be tricky so I'm not surprised it's worse with a remap.

The ones I have seen have all shown very healthy figures stock.

Update

 

I went for the unit and very pleased with the difference it seems to have made so far. Only thing is the pzeros just aren't able to cope at all now lol

I've got a 230 DSG remapped by Shark Performance. As standard it was putting out around 241bhp, now it's a healthy 288bhp and 467nm torque (graphs in my build thread). It's not as high as some modders claim to achieve, but driveability is excellent and I'm more than happy with the end result.

 

As others have said it's difficult to put the power down in the wet, but that could also have something to do with the Pirellis on the front which are pretty atrocious in anything other than warm and dry conditions.
