« on: September 06, 2011, 06:32:50 pm »
Well I have now owned my ed30 for a few weeks now and the car feels like it has so much more to give. After a lot of shall I or shant I , which remap to use (revo or superchips) and where to get it done I have now finaly taken the plunge and booked her in (thursday morning)
The company I chose to do it was JKM. To start with i'm gonna treat her to a revo stage1 , a shiney new DV and panel filter with a miltek non res to follow. Cant wait...I'll let you guys know how it goes :evilgrin:

Your in good hands there. Probably the best tfsi specialist in the country.

Did you not consider the APR map? Think jkm are the only place to offer so many choices :congrats:

A good solution, simply add a TBE and stage 2 Revo when you need more  :happy2:

So I took the ed30 down to JKM this morning. I wanted a stage1 remap , a VAG DV (Non Diaphram type ) and a k&n panel filter.
Dropped it off and 50mins later it was ready. Great service.   :happy2:
The revo settings were boost7 - timing4 - fuel8 as I premanantly run on 99ron. I could'nt wait for the drive home....
Imediatly after starting there's a deeper exhaust tone. Sounds lovely. So I pull out the car park and decide to go for a spin around the estate.  Now I thought the ed30 was fast before the map but now it's a beast. I was really shocked as to how much of a difference it is to stock. Massive torque through the rev range and great throttle responce. I don't know what 0-60 is now but it's quick. On the mororway home she just wants to keep pulling and pulling. Drop her down a gear and off she flies . An awesome car , such a joy to drive.
The next stage for me will be the revo sps switch and a miltek non res...roll on pay day  :evilgrin:

It just doesn't stop!!! As we all know!! Try finding a set of R32 stopper before stage 2! The thing you notice it you will never get the same buzz from stock to stage 1!! You will, however, notice a great deal of difference in the breaks!!
