Bluefin advice pleeze
Mate has a RS Focus and been offered a bluefin chip for £150. Is this a good deal? Also, will the car need setting up in any way once fitted and how much bhp will this give or does it depend on the chip. He's been told 35 bhp. Does this sound right ? cheeRS

I have a Bluefin on my Mondeo ST
The Bluefin handset, once used with a vehicle will lock to that car. It cannot be used on another car unless it has been sent back to bluefin/superchips and been reproggramed
Check this first

Thanx TIFF. So according to that. . .
if he sends it away he will get a 10% discount on a new chip. My post on the RS Focus section on here says new ones are around £450-£500. So he will save £45-£50 on a chip yet the guy wants £150 for it second hand. He's better off buying a new chip then, have i got this right ?
