What's a stage 2+ ed30 matched to?

[chris s]

This is an interesting topic for me as I have just moved up to Revo Stage 2+ a couple of weeks ago and am impressed with the results so far... however I know that it's recommended to upgrade the intercooler at this stage, although not compulsary... it seems a fair few people run the stock I/C without issues.

I am hesitant to spend £600 - 700 for a THS or Forge intercooler, but wondered if it's worth coughing up £300 ish for an S3 I/C?  My DSG Ed30 is primarily used for commuting a relatively short distance, an only given the beans on a weekend or later at night.

My brother in law has gone back to stock as he is selling his car, he has a ths cooler he will be selling, if your interested i can ask him for a price on it. It is only 6 months old.G

[chris s]

For sure mate, if you don't mind ask him what he's looking for and I may be interested... cheers

I'd love to race a E* M3 or RS4 now 
I've got the new revo map and it pulls right to 7 and a half K and you can feel it kick at 7K still so I'd say at above 100 my Eddie is very strong! Not sure what's its compared to tho as I don't have the balls to mess about on the road at around 100MPH 

When was this map released?

+1 as Switch to Revo is imminent for me

Is this new map a free upgrade or don't revo update software for people ?

Hi mate, ive got my wires crossed with the cooler. Its actually a vf intercooler with all the hard piping, but he wants a fair whack for it as it cost him a fortune, probably as much as what a ths new one would cost. Sorry about the mistake.

Personally i think the ttrs puts down super times is because of launch control and dsg. I went up against 1 at inters last year, he was 3sec faster 0-60 but over the finish line was only
2 sec faster. I have manual and no launch. And he was stage 1

Deffo dsg as when we got to the end i asked him what he was running and he told me the above. But ye very quick. Imo it didnt look too far a gap by the end. I understand what your saying though but like i said, i got a second back on him from the start

Being 3 seconds slower to a certain speed and 2 seconds slower at a certain distance does not necessarily mean you caught up.

No but it does mean from 60 to approx 110mph the 2+ Eddy was 1 second faster than a TTRS which is an achievement in itself.
A stg 1 TTRS would be a different story though.

An RS4 cant keep up with a 2+ K04 once rolling. My pal has an RS4 and has been left behind several times. Off the line the RS4 destroys mine though, especially this time of year.

E46 M3 cant keep up - straight line
E90 M3 - very evenly matched with mine
M6 500hp convertible - even from 30 to 130ish

A Stg2+ K04 car can embarrass some highly regarded motors

Best thing is the Eddie costs 20K less than all those too 

[gazon69]

The ttrs was stage 1 400hp, and in any case i know what my car IS capable of and i HAVE embarrased some very expensive cars. And it stands me to about 14k

100 percent chav thread do you think the guy in the m3 or rs4 gives a s..t? Dudes got an rs4

[micky 32]

A KO4'd vRS top speed run 277kmhr( 173mph) in circa just over a minute,, just shows what the KO4 can do.

Revoo... its right thats for sure. I have a friend of a friend with another ED30 stage2+  (revo) who went up against him and couldnt do him. My mates MK4 is disgusting quick for what it is. Stripped out / water meth / vf34. i would say its like around 1100kg compare to ours 1350kg.

My Starlet turbo 270hp would keep up with it. But thats now long gone :(

Power to weight mate.

Is the Ed30 in question manual or DSG? I bet a DSG car would keep the Mk4 honest.

RS4 V8 would get chewed up by a DSG Stage 2+ Ed30 over 30-130 (same with E46). E92 M3 would be closer, but again would get pipped.

Top end isn't the Golf forte, so it would always get passed by a 4.0 V8 at some point.

Regarding the TTRS, a DSG car will have the legs on a standard TTRS over a similar range, but once mapped the tables are soon turned (especially if it's a S-Tronic car). On the 1/4 mile I wouldn't even bother wasting your fuel against even a stock S-Tronic TTRS. You'll have lost heavily before you even get to the 60ft marker. Stock low 12's, mapped high 11's due to their cannon fire start

Mines DSG, my friends Manual... mine its only at around 5500 he starts to leave me, then 6200 is dead... I think if i got the DSG remap which can bypass the 6200rpm limit it can be only be better ?....

Once im in the next gear say 4th gear coming from 3rd, hes just pulling away and im not even catching up.
