Well I just blew my engine on FRS running 328 bhp, just did a track day at Knockhill and on lap 17 bang. I recommend you ditch Bluefin and see if the new dream Science software can sort your car out. If not you should considder a Pectel 2 mappable ECU and get your car properly mapped.

Default Mapping

I would remove bluefin and have car lived mapped.

They will use detinating sensing equipment and a/f ratio meter to make sure engine is mapped spot on.

Have it mapped on the road and not dyno.

This will be a map for your car tailored to suit your mods, not just an average of the shelf suits all chip

Was the bluefin not designed to be used when, its just a chip, exhaust and filter? To make 379bhp, you must have changed the turbo, intercooler, manifold, exhaust, filter etc...

A live map is the way forward, I think Kenny@MSD has a focus rs now and is looking to develop it.

Like has been said mate, you defo need to have it live mapped or look into the likes of the new Dreamscience module or even something like Autronics!
