Question Bluefin or Superchip?

Hi There,

Ive booked my Mini One in with Superchips for a Stage 2 Conversion which they have quoted £400+VAT, looking on the site Bluefin is only £293 but ive been told it's 'Not as good' By the person fitting it as the older conversion?

How can that be if it's the same power and cheaper!!?? Does the old Stage 2 even still exist??

Thinking of ringing another Superchips office for another quote / advice what are your thoughts on this one??

Bluefins good just so you can change it back when you like but I have to say i've always used AMD or MTH.

The Bluefin uses the stage 2 remap as standard. Make sure you are speaking to the correct people as there is only one Superchips Office. They have dealers to which we are one and we charge £299 inc.vat with free delivery to mainland UK.

The only difference is that if the suprchips St2 remap is done by dealer/superchips then it covers you with their warrenty. The bluefin does not have a warrenty. To be fair though if the map is the same then it can't do much damage as they would not warrenty it if done by laptop at dealer!

Get the bluefin!
