Anybody on here with a 200 using a bluefin? Was thinking about going for this myself especially with the 7 day money back gaurantee. I've also got my centre silencer removed and wonder if anyone else has the same with the bluefin that can comment.
Superchips special offer on Bluefin

- Start date
I got mine on Friday for the 200, same problem with downloading the file, but again my work server, doesn't let much through, but Clive at Superchips, soon had me up and running. Only done a few miles so far, as I have a show this weekend and have been getting my mk2 Focus RS buffed up for concours tomorrow, so not a lot of miles so far.
Initial thoughts are it is smoother, not sure on the power delivery, but if for any reason you don't like it, they give you your money back. For £200 I think it is a cheap remap and worth the money. As our cars have learn ECUs it will get better, and whatever mods you have, it should work, with them.
Life's too short just do it..........
Yeah, still OK. Best 200 notes you will spend on the clio in terms of power mod.
Although the larger TB is still settling in and getting better by the day - limp mode kicks in now only on higher revs (6k) full throttle. Spoke to Superchips and they said OK to extend the 7 days if TB is improving instead of a return.
Very tempted to go back to the STD TB I tested on at the weekend as the car flew then and flat spot as seems better on the bluefin map and desperate to give it the full beans again.

Installed the map yesterday and have done about 50 miles since.
The "flat spot" between 2-3k has been smoothed out and the kind of torque surge at 3k comes in around 2k. There is noticably more in gear torque whilst cuising on DC and motorway speeds.
It feels more responsive mid-high range but slightly less so at low revs. I only say this as the car tends not to kangaroo now and I put it down to not responding to minor inputs at very low speeds.
Overall happy with it so far, looking forward to exploring it more in days to come

Can't say I have to be honest mate.
Only other engine mod is ITG Maxogen air intake. Thats been on a couple of weeks now and seems to have helped low down torque.
I've noticed shift light comming on earlier,I've fitted cat back milltek since fitting bluefin and added with pedal box, car is 10x better to drive.
I work across road from RS Tuning, anybody know how much it would cost for a rolling road session.
I sent Superchips an email and this is there reply.
Good afternoon Paul.

At the moment we haven’t seen many of the Clio 197 or 200 models with aftermarket modifications and a bluefin that have needed custom mapping.
*
Mild airflow improvements like from fitting an induction kit or a cat back exhaust will not need any significant changes to the mapping but more dramatic improvements may benefit from further changes to the fuelling and ignition mapping.
*
If you can provide us with your serial number we can have a look to see if we have any more maps for your cars factory software.

Well after a week of use and a tank of fuel, the settling period is about complete, and the transformation is well worth the money. The main difference is the urgency of the car now, seems to pull better all round, it is smoother, and above 5500 it really pulls strong. Fuel consumption is less as well so more miles per pound. So all in all, top mod, well worth the dosh. Wouldn't bother doing anything else, if you want to go faster buy a Megane!!!.
