ECU Upgrade

I may have a Bluefin up for sale in the next few days if anyone is interested before I list it in the FS section.

You mean just the hand held controller unit for sale? Cause I didn't think you could actually sell the remap as it's individual vehicle specific isn't it.

it has been reset, next time its used on a VAG product it will perform a stage 1 tune ($45sh more for a stage 2)

After doing a stage 1 APR tune, is there a specific down pipe people tend to opt for?

Stage 1 doesn't need a downpipe.

Add a downpipe then you should get a stage 2 tune. If you buy an APR downpipe the tune is included in the price (or it used to be).

If you just want to add a DP with your stage 1 then the SPM is a very nicely made unit. I think the CTS is nice too. Both are available from dubaddiction.

Another worth looking at is the Australian made units from ReCode Tuning at Miranda. Really nicely made.

Thanks for that! Really handy info. The recode units look excellent.

+1 on stg 1 not requiring a dp.
a dp on the otherhand, if done properly, requires a tune. i was intially planning on getting the apr dp first then tune months later, however i was advised that this is not recommended and shouldn't b done. so i got the tune (stg 1) instead of the dp that day, and a couple of months later, the full exhaust (dp + cb).

+1 on the apr dp including the stg 2 tune.
