0-100 in 7.3s. top speed 155mph (on part with most german cars' electronically limited speed control).

if you look around for the torque curve of the 240ps you will see it makes most of it at the top end. which is why in the link above you see
200ps: 0-100 = 7.6s, 50-100 = 8.3s
240ps: 0-100 = 7.3s, 50-100 = 7.2s (1.1 seconds faster)

at low end, the 240ps should feel like the 200ps. mid range and top end the 240ps version should out gun the 200ps one by a much larger margin.

I guess the readings are inconclusive. They are abnormal.
How can the 50-100 run take longer time than 0-100 in the 200ps?
If anything, the 0-50 times should be taking perhaps 70% time of the 0-100 run times, since traction is the number 1 factor for standing start.

Anyhow, that is for the manual tranny, not the dual clutch.

Hi guys,

I just got my ride bluefin-ed yesterday. Receive the unit yesterday, download map from ECU, upload to UK and almost immediately the new map ready to for download.

Very happy with the result and big grin on my face smile_approve.gif

Anyone done any FC reading after bluefin-ed?

Good to hear more people using the Bluefin. Measured by Torque app, I got the following after Bluefin:

199 whp (without 165 whp)
301 nm (without 265)

0-100kmh: best time 8.5 seconds (with 245/45/17)

But I'm using it with TMC tuning box (setting at '0') - need to find time to take out this thing. I have checked with TMC, it is not advisable to run together even though the setting is set at zero because it does not completely bypass the signal.

I did not notice any big jump in FC in daily driving but balik kampung (KL - TGG) shows > 750km available when full tank (speed between 110 - 150kmh)

Thats one obscene wheel, 245/45/17.

I think that is a big reason why your car is rather slow considering the mods.
Width is a factor, and I think it is also larger wheel with the sidewall gaining few more mm.


I've tried a few runs with my stock 240ps 215/50/17 with Ron95 at night (2 passengers weighing 150kg at the least), and the best I could muster was 8.0s, out of maybe 5 runs. Averaged about 8.1 or 8.2s according to Torque.


Since recently, I've upgraded to 225/45/18. Will do a timed run soon. I can already feel the added weight, but hope the new found traction can help with standing start.

I know this sound silly, but did you feel the performance drop when using ron 95.?
