Yes exactly the same DTC'a as mine - right before limiter, and yes the ED30 is a car to be "used".  I haven't downloaded the revised map yet - could you please report back whether you noticed any difference in the map.    I haven't downloaded yet as I'm a little concerned it'll change the map and thus the "car" I have now got used to.  Like I have said before - I feel that this isn't really a resolution to the issue and is a bit of a quick fix. Anyway please report back - it is interesting that this issue seems now to be occuring with the DSG map (mine's a manual).

Gareth

so the new map cuts the power a little at the top end ?

Thats what the guy I spoke to said and to be honest I would prefer that.

As soon as I get the opportunity I will generate some logs and post them up. :smiley:

Please keep me updated am very keen to see the differenes,

I updated the map on the car today. My initial impressions are that not much has changed bottom and mid-range.

Didn't really have much of an opportunity to test the top end but it still felt good and strong when I did.

I will try over the coming days and see how it is.

Okay, only just registered but I'll be cheeky and post up my first query already...

I'm interested to know the real-world performance improvements that the Superchips remap for the Edition 30 brings... does anyone have any figures or know where they might be available: 0-60; 0-100; 30-50; 50-70 etc.?

Can't seem to find any specifics beyond the power and torque figures.

Thanks,

Shaun

Thanks for the comments guys... this seems to be the general opinion and based on that I have in fact placed an order via JKM in Portsmouth. Unfortunately the handsets are unavailable at present as Superchips have had a run on them but they are expecting a delivery next week and as I have placed my order they'll honour the 20% discount that's on offer until the end of the month.

It's just that I like to quantify these things and it seems odd that these figures don't seem to be available anywhere?!

Can't wait to make the upgrade, though!  :party:

Shaull

I can vouch for the fact that Superchips are all out of GTI handsets as Jamie showed us the empty box when we were there last week!  :driver:

TBH I haven't seen any of the tuners quote an increase in performance based on 0-60 times or top speed increases, but these are fairly meaning less (to me anyway) in the real world where you drive your drive most days. This Sunday will be a bit different though  :driver:

The remap does more than just increase performance to me it make the car overall more drivable  :happy2:
