This being the case, it just plain doesn't work then :shock: perhaps your efforts should stay firmly aimed at leisure drivers, while the professionals will still use Bluefin :roll:

had to uninstall mine at the weekend as it was going in as PX against the sportvan, it had been installed for over a year, so took the extra power for granted, unchipped the power drop was very noticeable, it's still very fast, but the bluefin just gives it that bit extra,

flog us it then :wink:


keeping it for now to see if superchips can crack the mk7, as it will be cheaper to get it reprogramed to the mk7 (about £180) , than to sell it, then have to go buy a new one for the mk7, if i do decide to sell i ll offer it on here first,

Very sorry for the late reply!!!

I have seen over the last 7 or so years how this man, more recently trading under the name of chipped uk (the name doesn't even deserve capital letters) has ripped people off left right and centre. Even managing to rip people over in Ireland IIRC.

For some unknown reason though, there seems to be a few happy BMW customers so he must have pirated some decent software somewhere along the line....

I just can't believe he is still managing to get away with it after all the bad reports across the internet!!

The boy crtainly has had a lot of bad press on the net - loads of good reports though as well..

To think i came on this thread initially offering to help contact him etc - i feel a bit naive now..

All i had ever heard from him is a relentless commitment to customer / dealer support so i assumed it would be resolved quickly.. ...

I feel i need to add a final comment -

That pump pressure thing was absolute bollox

Becky if your ever in Ruislip, i would love to help if i can by examining what "modified ECU file" he put in your van.. let me know if your passing .

Yeah i'll second that - unhappy customer with unresolved problem so money back would be the only appropriate action....

She cant travel to Brum again.. probably had enough of it all by now anyway...

chipped uk sounds a right bodge up firm, very unfair to rip people off like this, i doult very much they will give becky a refund,

i would demand a refund and if one wasnt received then persue them through trading standards or even a small claims court,

come on jason do the decent thing and give becky a refund, surly giving a £200 refund is better than all this bad publicity,

if i sell the bluefin ( which i doult as think superchips will eventually sort the mk7 ECU) think its only fair to offer it to motorwise first, as he asked first

its alright saying go blue fin or super chips....

certain things will always dictate where you go.

i`m self employed so time is money. to take 5 hours out of a working day is unecconomical, production lost would tripple the cost. first i looked around my area and found no one close.

when i was at a show, and walked past chipping companies selling their stuff, then it "should" make good sense to have it done there. you save time, fuel and the price paid is the correct price for car shows as they compete for business from other companies, so have to be realistic with what they charge.

jasons set up is quite convincing, you wouldn`t think he was a ripp off by looking at the premises.

as said before i wont be chasing it, throwing good money after bad, i can lose £200, and take the great pleasure of telling anyone and everyone don`t go to chipped uk.....


Becky if your ever in Ruislip, i would love to help if i can by examining what "modified ECU file" he put in your van.. let me know if your passing .


how can you see into the ecu, do you remap also?
jumbos do it standing up....
