    Bluefin/ Superchips

    Mine is also bluefined. Its 185bhp and i had it done down at the superchips HQ. Definitely recommend them as their service was spot on. Transformed my A3. But i must say i think i get about 1-2mpg less than before, but then i do drive faster now :)

    Bluefin

    Mine pulls really smoothly too 4500rpm. Then the power tails off..... oh and it was 402Nm not 390lbs - sorry..... As for a group buy, i'm sure if i emailed the bloke down there we could work some discount off. The people on the uk-mkivs website get 10% discount so there is no reason why...

    Bluefin

    I asked exactly the same question. They told me that the ECU stores the vehicle's VIN number and the file they remap uses your VIN number when it is written back. If the code doesn't match the car won't start. Also the Bluefin box is locked to that VIN number. How true this is, I don't know...

    2.0tdi chipping experiences

    I found that forum and it made my mind up for me - cheers MarriedBlonde :) yes he is a genuine reviewer, but i've give my feedback at the weekend.... After speaking to them at superchip, you get the bluefin box thingy and it allows you to revert at anytime back to the original settings...

    2.0tdi chipping experiences

    I'm new to this forum and also new to owning my 2003 A3 2.0TDi sport 140. My problem is that i've come from owning a E46 SMG M3 and traded to a diesel and i am really missing power. I need more :racer: ( although i am loving 45mpg ) I'm sure this question has been asked a 100 times but oh...
