Trying to get my head round this mapping DPF issue.
This is my understanding :
Lots of town driving is supposed to be bad for the DPF.
This is not becuase a lot of soot is produced (becuase you are driving slow) but becuase the DPF doesn't get hot enough to burn the small amount of soot that is produced off.
My question is, seeing as I do a lot of town driving:
If the car is mapped, and you continue to drive around town will extra soot be produced assuming you don't change your driving style? If not, then I can't see the DPF situation being worse once mapped? i.e I currently have no DPF issue despite loads of short journeys.
I would imagine you'd be more likely to get problems in the follwoing situaitons:
1. you boot the car but only for a short journey so the DPF is not hot enough to burn the soot
2. you boot the car continiously on a long jouney but despite the DPF being hot it simply can't keep up with the extra soot the mapping will produce.
I'd be interested to hear what other people think

just been talking to them, its comes with 1 year warrant for the car as well, so if a part failure as a result of the remap they will cover you, it is then £50 a year for the remaining 2 years of warranty to have it as well, not bad really?
I am really interested in this, more so because you can switch it back to a standard map.
Has anyone had this on a TFSI?

Guys,
Was at Superchips on Monday, they were asking if my Leon was a 170 TDI, but it isnt.... They were looking for development car to test new program on....
Get in there & see if you can oblige in development, may get a discount if you ask!!

Just put on my TFSI yesterday, so far first imporessions are good but due to lots of traffic around at the time (rush hour) evaluation limited.
Getting a good run in today so will be in a better position to comment.........
It's good but not aggressive, plenty usable power and torque is equally as good.
To summarise, if you just want a map and say filter (whatever choice that may be) i would say go Bluefin, Superchips are reputable and they invest a huge amount of time and money in R&d, so the map is extremely good.
However, if you want to continue in mods over and above the norm go Revo, much more versatile and can be upgraded as we all know.
One thing i would say though, i have never experienced a fuel cut whatsoever with the BF and the car just pulls smoothly right up to the red line......every time.............So, i am thinking, no need for a fuel pump upgrade...

worth the money? or would you recommend revo or CC for the same price
As i said before, if you want to continue modding go Revo or CC, if you just want the map and say filter go SC BF, good value for money and now cheaper at £499!
It may be possible (for a fee) that if you do go BF and continue with mods that SC will modify the settings, it may be worth asking before you buy..........
Thats what I'd like to know too.
Saying that, when I ran on the SCN RR day @ SC the figure my std FR put out against their own mapped car was about 15bhp down IIRC.
I'd like to see th figures now I'd added about 10k on top of what I had on back then.....
£500 is a lot for a few ponies
It is indeed a lot. However, if it smooths out the lump then turbo comes in, and allows the car to pull right to limiter it still might be worth it. But, kind of think I'll only go for this if it goes on offer... but I'll wait to hear when eventually someone with an FRTDI takes the plunge and comments on here
