Ever regretted tuning upgrade?

[Sharkie]

I'm not unhappy with the BlueFin. I think it was excellent value for ~$660 and the only tune with a user install/remove option at the time (which I've used once).

When I installed the Bluefin in Nov 2009 @ 31437km I thought I'd have the car until mid-2014 and then pass it on to my daughter. Things didn't quite work to plan (she delayed getting licence until 2017 and CBF getting a manual licence and by then we'd inherited my fathers automatic Honda which she uses).
Daughter #2 was next in line for the Octy this year but she's going slow too and also CBF getting a manual licence as well (WTF is wrong with kids these days?)

So here we are in 2018 having hit 190,000km last week and a little more power and torque in the last 9 years might have been nice.

Hindsight is 20:20

Kids these days .... I did not give mine a choice though .... all 3 have manual licenses, we did not own an auto for them to learn on. Probably why #1 daughter took 2.5 years from learner to Ps ..... eventually when we stopped driving her around she got moving on it. That said, she immediately went and bought a new CX-3 auto

The other 2 are perfectly happy with manuals and that is what they drive now.

RE Tuning, all my VWs have always had tunes on them. Love it and would not live without it .... current 110TSI yet to get tuned although I've done the research work already. Project 150TSI is in the works, with the 1st serious mod acquired this morning actually.

Amarok at 200kw is a beast and absolutely still loving it. Mustang still not tuned, although lots of other mods so far. Being a Ford I've been reluctant to mess with the tune, but will have that done before XMas (or maybe for Xmas for me)

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. Food for thought.
