    Got the Golf 6 GTI Superchipped!

    Adam from VA Garage on the Gold Coast flew down to Melb on the weekend with a Bluefin device in hand for me to load Superchips onto my car. So quick and easy to install and the results are awesome. The car just seems to shoot through the rev ranges, particularly in 1st and second. Accellaration now is just insane.

    Superchips claim 251bhp and 353Nm, up from 207bhp and 280Nm standard.

    One thing that I'm really happy about is the car is a lot more responsive and most importantly, that lull in power at about 2000rpm has gone!

    I also like having the option of changing the tune whenever I want, by simply e-mailing Superchips with exactly what I'm after in the car. They send a file back almost straight away with a new tune. I load it onto my Bluefin and then straight into the car, quick process and away we go.

    My Polo was APR tuned so now I'm trying something different, going to try to keep with VW Racing gear (seeing as Superchips is the VW Racing tuner).

    Adam was a load of help and very good to deal with, plus the extremely cheap price on the Superchips is veeery enticing

    If you're interested give him a buzz on 0755 916 009 or check out Superchips - Superchips optimise the performance of your car, helping to maximise your driving pleasure., his details are on the dealer locator page.

    Cheers,
    Rhys

        haha, no you dont need him to install it. he just happened to be coming down to melb for a holiday so brought it down with him. i installed it by myself. its just a matter of getting a reading from your car, installing a cd program to your computer, sync bluefin device with superchips server, uploading the file on the bluefin and then back into your car. all cables etc provided, pretty damn easy. whole process shouldnt take longer than 30 mins.

          It's probably a dumb question, but I've been told no question is a dumb question when I was young...
          Anyways, does installing the chip void your warranty?

            A question that is asked many times... The warranty is only voided if it is found that the chip (or any aftermarket component) has contributed to a failure...

                    that is a good question, one which unfortunately i dont know the answer to. i have pc but not sure about mac, thats definitely a question for superchips.

                      I've just purchased a Octavia RS TSI Wagon.......and after run in would be interested (came from a more powerful car).

                      So...$750...is that for the handset etc and the tune? I assume because its the same engine it should work on the skoda too?

                      If so...awesome

                        yeah you can certainly get it for the RS. Here is the link to the superchips page with the increase claims for your car - http://www.superchips.co.uk/search?m...42&variant=641

                        $750 includes everything - handset, cables, software and tune. good value for money.

                        pm me if you need some more details.

                          Excellent.........so silly question. A few years ago I was looking at a XR5 Turbo, and dreamscience did a similar thing.....so by keeping the handset, you can say flash it back to stock and the dealer wouldn't know anything was done?

                          I'm Anal with servicing, will likely do oil and filter at 7.5K and always use 98.....so I doubt anything will happen. But wifey wouldnt be too hapy if we lunched engine and It was because of something I did....
