Been putting it off but a group buy came up so decided to cut myself in on it. Went for the bluefin which gives reasonable claimed gains and gives me the option to take the map on and off as I want. They also dont claim as much power which I'm hoping might save my clutch and if you go much over 200bhp it means removing the DPF which is more money and quite an obvious thing to spot if it ever needs warranty work.
Thought I'd better take a picture of something to show in this thread as there isn't anything else to see
Been out for a quick drive before and after to compare and it seems quite a bit faster already, will be interesting to see what I think after a few more miles to make sure its not a placebo effect. It was the extra torque that I could really feel. Got a trip to Manchester tomorrow so I can get a better idea then of how it performs.
This is what they show for their power graphs here I'm not bothered about having mine rolling roaded, as long as it drives nicely thats the main thing to me. They also say improved MPG so again will see in time if thats true or not.
Happy for now, feels faster, feels more urgent and responsive and its really really easy to install. You just plug it in and follow the instructions.
Now its just a case of living with it for a bit to see how I get on with it. Chuffed for now
EDIT - Its an Audi A3 2.0 TDI 170, forgot to mention that!

I got it for £355 inc. P&P because of the group buy. £435 is the normal price.
I did a video before and after of the speedo so I might try to upload at some point.
