Well, I managed to do a back to back drive in a stage 1 Golf .:R and Steve's L04XX powered ED30. The instant pull off the line is completely intoxicating and the top end power of the ED30 bends the mind!

I'm now a convert and will be looking for an .:R as of today!

A combination of the AWD of the .:R and the power of the Loba turbo does it for me. :driver:

Are you going to keep the Polo?

Possibly, as there is still more tuning value in it yet and it would be a shame to abandon an incomplete project.

Well, Statllers have sent me a graph of the performance of their ED30 with the Loba L04XX on after some more tuning.

455bhp (400whp) and over 400lbft. :surprised:

It feels to me like the perfect trade off for a fwd car. The torque takes a little longer to peak and doesn't have the over boost spike of the OEM KO4, which means it is more controllable. It is less laggy than a Garrett turbo and so the power band is a lot more day to day useable. Add to this that the DSG copes admirably and no engine internal upgrades are needed and you have a true winner of an upgrade. Well done Loba is all I can say.  :notworthy:

Is it not a trifle expensive for a hybrid though?
