With mine you can adjust the boost/wot mixture/tick over/ there's loads of options.
You can even set a speed limit
Not sure if the bluefin does this

I've been told reliably 350bhp a few cars over 350 have had liner problems. I bought one the other day to have a play with so I suppose I'll find out

But its a bit hit and miss with them they say the earlier engines are not as good as the later ones.

I have just become a Dreamscience dealer so will be putting some adverts up in the relevant sections later

Custom map and the standard intercooler is crap so it is a must.

Personally (I am Dreamscience through and through lol ) I have airtec intercooler, piper catback, Dreamscience decat, Dreamscience Mod X, Dreamscience induction kit, Airtec intercooler, RS plugs

On my previous Mod C map I ran the following;



Should now be around 315bhp and 355Ib/ft maybe more

Also still need to for the 3" downpipe as still running standard at the minute
