Superchips Bluefin it was called.
It just made the car undrivable, so back it went to Superchips.

So £20,000 then. :P :P :P :P
Marks DTM Calib:
It fools the ECU into thinking the fuel pressure is lower resulting in a a longer squirt of fuel by the ECU, it probably also adjusts the MAP value down such that the turbo boosts to a higher pressure to get the extra air in (it might fiddle with MAF also, but this is rarely the case) .
Isn't yours an auto?

6 speed ZF auto. :y
Field Marshal Dr. Opti:
The early 2.8T has a paltry 230 BHP. My car is the later model with 250 BHP.
Still a very under stressed lump though with only 89BHP per litre from a turbo engine.
