you paying?
oh btw the verdestein tyres are ace loads of grip wet and dry

I wish! If I could afford that my baby would be first in line! :p

I loved them on my R32, and when the tyres are shot on the cupra I'll be going for them again... Love the treat pattern too!

I've also read good reviews on the Vredestien tyres from Zboyd's review on them when he got his CK's.

I ordered these when I bought my wheel package at the back end of last year. There was a big mix up and my wheels were sent out to another customer who ordered them with Falkens. Anyway the supplier couldnt get on more Vredestiens for me quickly so I went for the nearest option, Toyo T1R's.

IMO they are a lot better than the stock Pirelli's. The Toyo's have excellent dry and wet weather grip, therefore I would high recommend them. Anther plus point is that they show no signs of ware over the three months I've had them on.

And I bet there is a fair bit less road noise too. Thats the worst thing about the pirelli's for me.

I never really noticed the road noise to be fair on the Pirelli's. All I hear now is the good old Milltek Cat-Bak:lol::lol:;). Just waiting for a good deal on the turbo bak which is costly at £500 - £600[:@].

I will be getting a Blue-Fin or Revo Remp in December, so roll on 300BHP:D:D.

Cheers

What is required for Stage 2 Bluefin?? Is it just a TBE + Panel Filter.

Yep, thats all you need and they quote 320ish bhp.

They have just release stage 3 which you need the fuel pump for so I'm doing a few days overtime to get my hands on that and they quote 337bhp and 425nm for that!

Cheers. I think Stage 2 will be enough for me TBH. So do you have to inform Superchips that you have a TBE + Filter to enable them to send you the correct map??

You purchase the standard bluefin and you can upload that to your car as is, then once you hav the necessary mods contact them and the upgrade to stage 2 is free!

You get to keep your original map, the stg 1 map and have the stg 2 also!
