Right then. Here is all you need to know about the new Audi A3 2.0T FSI bluefin map from Superchips.
I've joined in quite a few threads on more than one site and used other usernames so I apologise in advance if you read this somewhere else.
I got bluefin through the uk-mkivs group buy a few weeks ago and straight away I was impressed with it's performance and the 'OEM' like power delivery. It's also a really nice piece of kit. (See Milkfloat's review here http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/thread/778461.aspx ) So I popped down to the uk-mkivs/Superchips Open Day in January and the car went on the rollers. I thought the car drove perfectly but as it turned out Jamie at Superchips wasn't too happy with how the power seemed to flatten out around 5.5k revs and thought this could be improved on. A couple of other A3 owners had also mentioned a slight misfire in the same rev range so Jamie said they would go to work sorting this out. Apart from anything else the GTIs were getting about 10 bhp more on the day so obviously something had to be done.
After reading MattS's post on Audi-Sport ( http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=35321 ) I got back in touch with Jamie and he sent me the new bluefin installation software and the A3 2.0T FSI v.2 map. Straight away I thought the engine seemed a little more 'torquey' and free revving but it really needed to be back on the dyno to see if the original map had been improved on. So I offered to pop down and here are the facts and figures from today.
For those who like numbers...
Audi 'stock' figures 196bhp @ 6142rpm / 201lb/ft @ 2674rpm (I think!)
My 'stock' figures 202bhp @ 5801rpm / 195lb/ft @ 3589rpm
bluefin v.1 figures 232bhp @ 6024rpm / 242lb/ft @ 3498rpm
bluefin v.2 figures 240bhp @ 6106rpm / 258lb/ft @ 3272rpm
Never mind all that. Here are some graphs...
This is my 'stock' graph and the v2 bluefin
More interesting is how the v1 and v2 maps compare on my car
As I've already said the car drives beautifully and the power delivery is absolutely spot on. Nice and docile lower down the revs and goes like the clappers when you feel the need to push on. I also have to say that the service from all at Superchips has been superb from start to finish.
