Hi

i'm thinkin about takin the plunge & gettin some kind of ECU mod done!!

I've been lookin at Bluefin today. If you go direct to Superchips they're £234inc VAT & postage!!

I had a look on the Pumaspeed site & they're charging £270. So i gave them a call, spoke to Tony & asked which he thought was best. He said the FRP they do is better than the Bluefin!! Price for PS to do FRP map is £230 so not much difference!!

Anybody got any experience in either of these 2 products??

Thanks

Craig

I just typed Bluefin into the search engine - and got no results whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know there are topics/threads on this subject, so why does the search not find them????????

I got quite a few results brought up!!

Read through a few, some say good, some say bad!!

Now i'm, not expecting miracles as i realize you don't get as much gains as you would with a turbo car!! Like my old Evo. It had a K&N induction kit with 4" cold air feed, Walbro uprated fuel pump, 3" decat stainless exhaust system, HKS uprated turbo elbow, Ev0 9 GT actuator, NGKR Iridium plugs, HKS boost controller & an Ecutek remap, boost @ 1.45bar with 363bhp & 335lb torque!! That's 89bhp gain for a handful of mods!! aren't turbo's great!!

It could've had boost upped to 1.7bar & it still would've been fine on standard internals. I wanted to play safe though!! 363bhp was nice enough to have there at teh slightest blip of the throttle

If it aint Jap!! It's crap!! unless it's a Puma!! Cos they're SMOOOOOOOOTHER!!

So far just induction kit with cold air feed. I'll get a performance exhaust at some point!! Possibly a set of FRP cams

Yours is for the FRP though!! Not sure if it'll work with a normal 1.7!!

Currently have an FRP ECU in my normal 1.7 and the difference is far greater than i would have EVER thought! Hitting the limiter at 7200rpm and having 1st and 2nd gear unrestricted transforms the car and makes it even greater fun to drive!
