Whilst we are talking ED30 mods. Is the Ed30 stock exhaust anymore free flowing than the std Gti one?

Thanks

Cheers guys I thinkI'm going to head down to PD Tuning in the next few days to a RR and Datalogging session... and who knows I may even look into a new downpipe... probably Milltek... and a new intake ..... my only concern is PDT are more Revo focussed and I'm running GIAC.... will give Dave a call and see what the craic is

One more question... I know that ideally all mods should be completed before the remap, but as most (including the GIAC) are of the shelf maps... will I see the benefit of a down pipe and intake if fitted after the remap?

If you get a d/p and intake, that will mean you'll be best off getting a stage 2 map off Giac, if you get an uprated HPFP, then you'll need a Giac pump map etc etc.
If you fit a downpipe and hiflow cat, there are some people that end up getting the engine light coming on. mine didnt, but there are a few people who have had it happen.
The noise alone off the exhaust and intake is a nice enough benefit :happy2:

Cheers HeavyD, i meant to thank you early for your offer to help out with checking all is well with my car!

To be honest if i find out my car is anywhere short of 300bhp and 300ftlb I'll look to make the changes to hit those two holy grails :-)

I'm in the same boat :sad1:
I'll be going to PDT next week for a rolling road session to see what mine will be making after I get my remap tweaked tomorrow down mansfield. Its making roughly the same as the PDT stage 2 map I had on, but I paid out for an APR fuel pump and a shark performance remap so not a happy bunny :confused:
At RSTuning RR day, damoegan made 298bhp and 315lbs of torque with his P-Torque stage 1 remap with an intake, dont think he's running a performance exhaust either. the stage 2 p-torque edition 30 down there made 315bhp and 340lbs of torque

HeavyD - have you any experience of PDT?  I'm interested in some 1st hand knowledge before i hand over the keys and ask him to possibly remap the car again

I'm there Thursday morning to get mine rr'd. If I were you, I would find out what's wrong first before you shell out for another remap. Giac are supposed to be good, so get it rr'd and datalogged before you spend out£££££££

Check on Vaux forums for him complaining about a MKV GTI keeping up with his heavily modded Astra  :signLOL:

As has been said ... you don't really know what you were up against !     

I had an Edition 30 DSG ... Bluefin Stage 1 to 'allegedly' 299bhp ....

What I had was easily the quickest and best car I have had this side of a TVR Griffith 500 ... and that includes a Z4M Roadster ....

You don't necessarily gain that much on other cars - many variables come into force when you are not on equal footing - that said get it RR'd to make sure all is OK.

I remember accelerating onto the A3 with a Lexus 450h and not gaining at all - that said he was probably p***ed off a GTi was with him .... at least to 70 ....  Though I also remember accelerating past an Audi TT where the driver looked completely gobsmacked .... I loved remapped cars :)

Well as expected my morning at PDT proved interesting.... my Ed30 with a stage 1 GIAC map was putting out only 267bhp and a wimpy 235ftlb .... PDT ran some data logging and the ignition timing was -7 degrees out... and we could not work out why!!  He even tried a REVO Trial map and that put out 264bhp... currently mapped back to stock until we can work out what is up :-(

Has anyone else come across this issue?  He checked the coil packs, boost leaks and all was well...

At least I know I am not mad, but this not the best news to have!
