Bluefin for Leon FR TDI

[wesbar]

Hello All. Picked up my new car last Friday. Does anyone have any advice for how many miles I should do before I chip my car with a Superchips Bluefin? I've currently only covered about 150 miles.

Also, does any one know what sort of BHP these put out as standard. The manual says 167bhp but it feels like more than that! Thanks.

It just feels like more because of the torque. The manual figures are correct. Probably worth letting the engine wear in for a few thousand miles yet.

Superchips dyno'd the standard car at 180BHP. It's not the engine you need to let run in, they are run in at the factory - it's the running gear that you need to be gentle with. I would cover 1000miles before you put the map on

Thanks for the advice. Will leave it standard for a few months before i go chipping it.

Is there an alternative to Bluefin that allows you to chip from home and revert to standard etc?

A little more aggresive than a Bluefin map

197 on mine standard @ SC

is that the CR170? 197 is pretty impressive! 30bhp more than it should be. Was that with the expensive Derv?

if you get a revo re-map, you can buy a button to put it back to stock whenever you want or have it serviced.

Compared Revo with SC in some detail and generally Revo use higher boost to achieve broadly similar results but advantage of far superior customer support IMHO. Horses for courses.
315 superchipped cupra, no mods will do

Nah Jace's is a PD170 and is standard.
Not sure who has a map for the CR170 at the moment.

Thanks for all the advice. Think it's between the Bluefin and Remap Pro. Revo looks good but is a bit too expensive for me with the cost of the additional unitand i really need to be able to switch to standard at will.

I thought revo had discontinued supporting the PD170?

Yes they have. They have stated this in here and in this press release.

The Reevo only switches back to their own standard map, not the original one that was in your car.......I THINK

Bluefin and Remap Pro definitely go back to the original map
