Was it the correct transmission type map sent dave?, My "manual" superchips map was pants on stage 1 for my dsg car, similar to what your describing? .
just a thought :smiley:

Im a bit confused by the "Stage one on my Edition 30 ruined it" comment :confused:

....I think that was said by QD and maybe in a different thread. I don't understand it either but as both he and I and others say, ETTO.

Off topic, me thinks.
But as has been said a few times recently, by quite a few members - 'I was surprised how good the standard Gti was' The SC mapping was dire, IMO. Nothing before 3k, then all hell breaks loose, made for a poor performing and ill mannered car.
Ed30 with decent brakes, and LSD made for a cracking really potent car. Improvements as listed cost £1500 and meant I could use all the horses I had. Power is nothing without control............... still had 230 eager ponies! Hence my belief that It didn't need mapping.

....Ah, now I understand, Dave. Thanks for the detail :happy2:. I think you were right.

I've been saying that from the second day I bought my ED30. Kept getting shot down for it too. At anything below 50mph, they're awesome but can be quite scary on the motorway if you have to brake suddenly. Hate that back end twitch.

:grin: Probably. I guess it's an issue with having convoys and trying to work out what the guy in front is doing/where they're going rather than acting as you normally would when on your own.
--- Quote from: RedRobin on March 12, 2011, 09:40:08 am ---I usually am in the conscious habit of using my indicator even when changing lane and no other vehicles near me. That 5-flash feature which the GTI has is great.
--- End quote ---
3-flashes and it's a lane-change indicator.

We all know that despite your age, you probably are a far better driver than most of us. Especially with those expensive driving courses you seem to do. :driver:
