MK4 R32- super chip bluefin or APR??

[BHardstaff]

It's now time to give my R32 a little tune and just wondered which way people would go? My mechanic installs bluefin but didn't know if it's as good as APR?

[VR6man]

There's a long list of tunes available.
Both APR & bluefin are good companys.
Pick one and be happy

From the things I've heard over the past couple of years, I'd go with Bluefin. You'll probably save yourself a good number of dollars too! APR are good at marketing their product, but this doesn't mean they're better than everyone else when it comes to tunes

The reflashes all seem to produce the same or close to the same games. Comes down to brand preference and what has better local support. Being on the G.C. I'm assuming you're talking about Adam @ VA.GARAGE?

[BHardstaff]

Yes Adam does all my work, top bloke and knows what he is on about! Thanks guys.

Don't forget Gav and his custom code tunes.

Or if more adventurous can try unitedmotorsport, heard good things about jeff and his tunes. Check out the threads on vortex for feedback. I'm sure he could adapt one for us.

Yep. 2000MN and myself had our R's worked on at Adam's.

Actually I need a service soon. Best call in and sort something out.

GIAC are another big player in the VW tuning world.

GIAC user here.

As mentioned most tunes available are all similar, comes down to your preference.

My experience with GIAC 98 tune with CAI:

- Removed flat spot in 3500rpm range.
- Torque range from stand still is phenomenal
- Improved fuel economy (480-550 per tank).
- Most importantly a few more HP's. Nothing dramatic, but enough to put a smile on your face.
- High idling upon starting up the car (usually in the morning or haven’t used the car for a few days).

If UM (United Motorsport) tunes were available here, I would switch as I heard VG reviews on the vortex forums....

Justin "dainese" has an APR tune on his .:R, which is very nice when I drove it, but GIAC is a bit more aggressive = fun.

My 5 cents
