certainly didnt really feel much like a claimed "125bhp ish" car im afraid
never really payed alot of attention to the mpg as it was pretty piss poor to start with!
hope this helps
Thanks for the reply,
This is exactly it, its where in the power band the 'extra' claimed performance shows up, if it's all at the top end and you have to be ragging the arse off your car whats the point.
if it's adding to the mid range grunt, where you use/need it, such as motorway driving from 50 - 80 Mph, then all well and good. As would be the smoother running/quieter engine..
I've watched a few clips on you-tube, and it would appear that turbo diesel cars take to the bluefin tuning better, such as 40BHP gains from a passat...
£235 is a lot to spend if its not that noticable, and best spent elsewhere.
At the mo, I've only got a K&N panel filter fitted,
so looking to do a few more little bits & pieces.
it's where to 'invbest' the cash lol
