out of interest mate, how old is your Bluefin ?, and did they say why they would even produce a low power version ?
Very happy mate and yes they do a low powered file for some reason although not sold as standard!!!

My bluefin is 6 months old,...they were bloody brills to be honest,..

did they say how we can check the file ?
Best way is to connect your bluefin to your pc and email them your file apparently??? although I would give Dave a call as he was very helpful, their number is 01280816781, open Monday to Friday between 8am-5pm,....

nice result telboy , thanks for sharing
Good on superchips too for sorting out.

now bear with me, this is directed at all maps not just superchips , but in this case it is SC
Im not being negative but im not sure I believe the whole 'low power map' idea.
Is that the DSG version? Why would they even have a LP map? And how did it make it onto your car?
With stringent R&D and versioning this kinda thing doesnt just happen.
The whole thing 'bothers' me. Maybe they give out the LP may as a rule (most people will prob be happy and never question it), and only upgrade you to higher power map if you complain. Is this because the higher power map isnt good for the car?

Im sure there are more than a few SC owners out there running the LP map and dont even know it!

just my rantings , Im glad that for you this issue is sorted.

One of the reasons is because the LP map is normally requested by the owner???? largely down to either insurance reasons or due to if you're having problems with your car you wouldn't want a higher output running through the engine????

Not sure if I believe it either although I must admit he did give a techy reason for the LP mode :embarassed:, I just forgot the main reason why as I was so happy my car was now running properly !!!
