Almost worth doing it for this reason alone!

Remaps are concidered a better way to go. Piggy backs are more like a sledgehammer. You can get different tunes and some can read faults.

I am a newbie and am in the market for new D4. Many questions about 2.7 or 3.0D but in this post I would like to ask those with BlueFin their experience in both performance and economy after remap of TD2.7. I already own a Bluefin currently programmed to my Audi and can give testament to both power and economy on this car and my previos VW 2.0TDI on which it has been used.

A chipped or re-mapped 2.7Lt is still no match for the 3.0Lt............if thats any help? I have had both.

The BAS system brings power of the 2.7 up to close top the 3.0 but torque is still way less.

Cost was 519 GB pounds delivered to Australia via UPS.

Thats a forum discounted price. Usually 645 GBP

So is this from bellauto? Do you say you're a member of aulro for the discount? Do you have to ask for a particular tune? And would the tunes be extra?

You have to register at the Disco3.co.uk site first to get the discount.

You get one tune included, e.g.either towing, performance, balanced.
Just let him know what you want.
You buy the unit, he posts it to you.
Once you have the unit you plug it into your D3 and upload the existing flash file which you email to him. He then "Tunes" you existing file and emails it back to you. Then you simple upload whichever tune you want on the D3 with the unit.

Thanks Rich,

So can you get more than 1 tune and if so how much does he charge for these? I would probably like one that would give me good economy and one that would be good for towing my camper trailer.

I contacted BAS a few weeks back and the actual map was 150pounds.

Explain to him what exactly you want and he will do his best. :)
That's what I did.
I got great performance and with blanked EGR valves (Pre mid 07 D3's) and a clean MAP sensor even better performance and fuel economy.
