:lol: you have done the write thing they are very nice ,if its a worry that its a 260 (cant see a problem myself) you could allways uprate it at somepoint! :wink:
i would have a sports van myself but the price is abit high for me and also i realy like the one i have! :wink:
you bluefin will need to go back to superchips for a reset then you might havce to change it for another unit or maybe this will do the 2.2 let us know :wink: it will cost a good £120 ish for a reset :? but with this set up on a 130ps it will fly! 8) 8)
i have run blue fin for nealy a year on mine and have had no problems yet ,it seems the same on fuel etc the only difrents is when you put your foot down it pulls like a train! 8) 8)

have bluefin on my mk6 van, so phoned superchips today to enquire,
was told as yet they cant reprogram to the mk7 as there a diffrent ECU, mk6 is bosch and mk7 is siemans, it's possible they will crack it eventually but couldnt be certain when,

asked him what my options were with the bluefin i have now,
was told can either keep it untill they crack mk7 then send it back to be reprogramed or get it reset and sell, was told will cost £180 to reset,
if its less than 1 year old they will reset free, had mine 15 months :cry:
so will proberbly keep my bluefin for now and see how superchips get on with the mk7,

Is your Bluefin the old type or the new curvy one?

Mines the original square one

Might sell mine to then get the new one when its out.

never got my van yesterday, due to the insurance cover note not arriving on time to get the road tax :evil: got it today, very pleased with it, drives and handles very nicely, holds the road well, no effort to drive,

maybe not quite as fast as the old chipped 125ps, but not a lot in it, might loosen up as the engine clocks up a few miles, plus never really floored it yet :roll: if superchips get a bluefin sorted, it'll beat the mk6 i would say :)

one thing to check when you get yours, the dealer found out yesterday there's no spare wheel, carrier or tools supplied with the sport, so has ordered them, so make sure you check and get them,

when do you get yours?

Not sure when I get mine, might be a couple of weeks.

Ive been told today that the new shape 2.2 is limited top end.

Is this true as the mk 6 isnt and can get 115mph with Bluefin on.

The new shape is supposed to be limited at 100mph.

Not be happy about that.

It will only be the computer that is limiting the van. I doubt there is any mechanical restriction. Simply get the computer reprogrammed. That said, I don't know much about these new vans and you will need to find someone who can reprogram it too.

Thanks for that mate.

Was thinking about fitting Bluefin, would this sort it?
