I had an Audi A3 170 TDI and got it remapped. The clutch would slip if you used full throttle in a high gear at around 1,000 rpm but if you drive them normally they don't slip. It wouldn't bother me at all about the clutch slipping cos you have to be driving it like a 'tard in my experience to get it to do it anyway so it'll never happen.

My only regret was not having it remapped sooner. Drove so much better with the Bluefin remap installed.

Hear a lot of people saying this, what power did it increase to? Was it completely different to drive?

Just becareful what car you go for if you intended getting a bluefin map, only say as If i went bluefin they would have to remove the ecu/open it and then map it) as I have the more recent ecu which wont allow you to map it through the normal obd port.

Mine was ok. Just sent me the bluefin unit out in the post and I plugged in to my car and remapped it on my drive. Wouldn't of gone for it if I'd had a car that meant they had to open the ECU

Ah ok, I've been looking at awesome and darkside I believe it is for remaps as they do before and after dyno runs ect. Peace of mind all is running ok and get a rough idea of how much more power its running
