New Member - Newly Purchased ED30
mk1mad:
Nice Ed30 :happy2:, I have the same combo as you an Ed30dsg and a mk1 with a 1.8T. Like you recently picked up an Edition 30 after previously having a mk5 gti.
Let's see your mk1?
btw my Ed30 came with a BCS Sports cat and Exhaust System and I am very impressed with it so far.

If you are thinking about tuning suggest you plan that out in advance. Standard Milltek sounds good but I don’t believe it is the best flowing. Not so much an issue if you have a GTI but may limit you if you want a strong 2+ car. BCS is really nice quality and flows well, lots of options for sound/cats.

So eventually got round to getting an exhaust - went with Milltek as it was a pretty decent price and I do like the sound of it.
To be honest, considering how rusty it was, it came off a doddle!
Although, that isn’t the end of the jobs - I have developed a rattle upon startup so I have bought all of the gear to change the timing chain and tensioner (even though I did check blocks 91 and 93 and it looked OK from what I’ve read)
I got a P0011 code and it cleared for a bit but has come back - the car is due a service also so going to do that as well as a DSG oil and filter change - busy day tomorrow!

Cheers mate, to be honest I’m not looking to go crazy power, probs just stage 1 and a gearbox map if I’m honest - but good to bear that in mind as you say!

Haha not a bad combo to have is it!
I’ve had the MK1 for 15 years but have only recently done the conversion - it is running now but it still in the final stages of completion, exhaust and pedal box being the main hurdles to get over, although both are in hand
Here’s some pics
