stages of ed30 tuning

[rubber toe]

my KO4 just arrived and was wandering what different stages of tuning there is and what parts are required .

also what kinda power to expect from these different stages

thanks

im no expert but its along the lines of;

revo stage 1 = nothing needed, intake recommended = 300-310ish
stage 2,  intake, zorst, dv, fuel pump recommended - 310-330..
stage 3, above and other bits :p 330+

eventually(sp) looking for about 350/360bhp any ideas how ?

I think Revo now do a map specifically for people who have upgraded to a KO 4 also you could get close to 350 with the KO 4    you would also need the fuel pump and possibly the intercooler and intake + the obligatory turbo back zorst.

Make sure you have lots of money and that you own the car outright (not on finance or anything like that).

Do you mean you are upgrading to a K04 on a K03 platform or have you just bought an ED30?

upgrading from KO3 to K04

Revo Stage one around 280 not over 300. Stage 1 map will give gains of around 40bhp but add aftermarket exhaust, add another 10%
Depending on which rollers you run it on of course 
SteveS's other quotes on other stages are about correct. are on average correct.Stage 2+ will get 325-335 approx.
If your looking for 360bhp,Stage 3, look at JonnyC's build thread and start thinking of buying a winning lotto ticket to get the figure you crave.

I think you should be careful and not be too power hungry as the cylinder rods may not be able to cope and bend>mucho dinero to fix.

the rods on an ed30 are uprated when compared with the standard gti engine so it can cope with the higher hp/torque.

Excellent 

I am planning on dong exactly the same on my A3 

Have you purchased a specific kit like APR's?  I'll be very interested to hear how you get on so keep us updated.

Realistically I think the maximum you will see is about 310 BHP.  I don't think you will be able to get into the 330+ numbers that the regular ED30 boys are seeing.  I think the main reason for this is the different CAMs which the ED30 has.  However you could always upgrade the CAMs too

yea my quotes were on an ed30, considering you have a ko4... all ed30s are coming around 300 plus a few..?

wise words 
thats the eventual plan anyways so its still a bit away
think i'll be happy with the turbo upgrade
for now

Revo has a TT with this mod and is highly tuned as well. It also gets hammered on a regular basis and has not missed a beat by all accounts.

had read that std gti engine internals could handle up to 370bhp but cant remember where tho
