I presume the internals of the KO3 powered GTIs will be able to handle the 310-360bhp?



TT says there the same  :happy2:
Does that mean he's right though? :scared: :scared:

I had read that the engines are very different in terms of internals? ED30/Cupra R/S3 sharing a similar platform.

From the info I've been able to glean from various forums. The standard GTI and ED30 gti have some differences, although TT says not. The jury I guess is still out.

The only inklings of differences I can put my finger on is that there have been one or two standard GTI's in America with KO4 conversions that have either bent or broken a rod (Golf MKV forum). This is no definitive answer, as the standard GTI runs a slightly higher compression ratio which may have something to do with it as well, but just an observation!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I read an article in one of the VW magazines, about the differences between the engines (defo internal difference). Ill go dig it out.

Im pretty confident that Jonny mentioned it on his thread, as I suggested he could have used a GTI as a base for his modifications.

I cant remember TT ever saying the GTI and the ED 30 had the same engine most of the duals have been whether the ED 30 is the same as the S3 lump.  :driver:
If we dont know there is not much point in speculating.
everybody hide under the blanket and i will go and ask him to post on the subject.  :laugh: :laugh:  :confused:
