Well I purchased a used bluefin a while ago BF06 model from ebay for £15
This is me just getting the time to send it down so i sent it down on the Tuesday
called for payment on the Wednesday
and Thursday i had my remap!

What you do is Upload your Original engine map to the device then upload it onto pc software.
Once done this Superchips will get back to you within 8hours (mines was 30mins later! )
and download your custom remap for your car then go install it in the car!

Performance improved? WELL YES! the car now pushes your head back!
went from a EcoBOOST to a EcoBEAST! this thing can move now with ease!

Most Importantly is the fact that

I love it! and isnt that the purpose of anymap or mods?

Modding time of year this is for me and Installing my ST180 Brakes on Tuesday

Damm that is a good price, £400 otherwise which still isn't bad, definitely considering it, I loved the remap in my Leon, totally changes the car. Silicon hoses look smart to mate, I might need to get some red ones.

Are the ST brakes a straight swap?

  • Author

Yeah they are buddy

I take it this was from 100hp to 137bhp?

Really looking at this (in around 6 month) as it can easily be taken off etc when needed etc.

Would you advise of upgrading anything else (air filter etc) when the remap is done, as obviously another 37bhp won't be doing any favors for the longevity of the engine without any other support...if you understand my drift?

Nope my car is 123bhp (125ps)

And takes it to 154bhp (156ps)

Also on this map you don't need anything added at all for it to work people will back me up on this but I already had induction on engine before map the longevity of the engine would be fine with this map just be gentle with clutch :) but 2bh a don't think it would affect the clutch too much as long as your not going nuts

The upgrading of air filters etc & other mods need doing before the remap & not after

What are the new torque numbers ?

Hi James

I re mapped mine the same way 5 months ago and it really makes a difference the car really pulls away now usually with the front wheels fighting to keep traction on a damp day.

Still awaiting to get a date for the stage 2 re map.

Aye it's brill!

There gonna work in stage 2 but have other projects first buddy

I am looking for the BF06-FORDE-T Bluefin handset to do the same as you but there are none available at the mo :(, but Why are some 2nd hand ones on e*ay asking for £100 plus ? ............ it`s going to cost £232.50 inc postage plus the 2nd hand bluefin cost. For the £50 - £80 difference I think I would rather buy new

It's just a bf06 some people don't advertise the model name so check the cheap ones and asked them to tell you model name starts with BF tell them and take pics

This thread was I long time coming but glad you've joined the remap club mate ;)

Once you've mapped, you never go back.

So Paramanic are you are saying that as long as the unit is a BF06 then it will work regardless as to weather it was originally sold for a VAG /Vauxhall/Ford etch, (Once superchips have re-set it)

I was under the impression that it needed to be the BF06-FORDE-T handset which is listed as specific to certain particular models.

Yes as far as am aware as long as it's a bf06 model

Send them a email or a phone call regarding this they are very helpful and are actually the ones who suggested getting a used one to me so just contact them they will help no problem a think it would regardless of manufacturer

I will give superchips a call next week to confirm and hopefully get it sorted out soon after :)
