I have noticed that superchips have a bluefin for the MCS JCW on their website
(Superchips - Rediscover the joy of the open road and not on lohen). Has anyone used this ecu 'chip' on their JCW, and is it any good.

I am aware of the implications with
1: Insurance
2: Waranty
3: Not being JCW etc

Has anyone got any info or reviews? Cos I am mildly interested.

cheers

Sorry should explain I have an 05: 210 JCW, so this ecu should work on my car.

The better part of £300 to gain 8BHP just seems like a waste of money to me.

I am sure there are better ways to get more out of your engine?
