Just looking for some feedback from those with a 6c manual GTI who have a stage 1 with Superchips Blufin or Revo. eg any problems with -
Clutch/gearbox
Engine management lights
Emissions at MOT time
Driving experience ie can the chassis cope and get the power down in the dry without excessive torque steer
Many Thanks

Re: Owners experience with Stage 1 remap for a 6c manual GTI
I've not got mine mapped yet (going straight to stage 3)
But what I've found out are
The clutch can be weak but it seems a bit hit or miss
The gearbox is pretty solid
It shouldn't affect the emissions (mine passed a couple of months ago with a sports cat and no emissions light)
It seems to be able to put the power down without anyone saying they get torque steer.

Re: Owners experience with Stage 1 remap for a 6c manual GTI
I have the Stage 2 bluefin on mine. I ran stage 1 for around a year before going stage 2 about two months ago after upgrading exhaust. I've just hit 30,000 miles and, touch wood, not a single issue. I've heard about the clutch being a weak point, but I've had no clutch slip (I'm fairly heavy footed but never launch the car from a standstill).Gee40 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2019 6:02 pm Just looking for some feedback from those with a 6c manual GTI who have a stage 1 with Superchips Blufin or Revo. eg any problems with -

I'm my experience, the bluefin is a moderate step up in power but by no means aggressive (maybe compared to other tuners). It seems as though they've held back a bit, maybe to improve the longevity of parts. This was a no brainer for me.
