Gti Vs Edi30 - Differences

[stealthwolf]

If the edition30 engine is identical to the GTi

It's not. That's the gist of the post above.

[gazbutS3]

ED30/S3 had different pistons, rods, cylinderhead and stuff than the regular GTI

[jonnyc]

Not getting this;

If the edition30 engine is identical to the GTi apart from the turbo, surley the GTi has the same tunability once you install the bigger turbo ?

Right ???

and miltek do a 3" and 2.5" DP but what is the dia of the oem unit ?

Not quite, very close though..

As the ED30 runs lower compression about 0.5 points.. You can run more timing with the ED30. That transfers to about 15hp more up top..

Can someone please post pictures of the darkend rear lights, side stripes, front and rear bumper, so i can compare to mine.

And here's another

Excellent, now we're getting somewhere;

So the ED30 has different;

Engine:
Pistons
Rods
Compression ratio
Cylinder head
Turbo (Ko4 Turbo )

Body:
All the lower skirts / bumpers are colour coded
Side skirts - Colour coded (shape different ?)
Front Bumper ? (what's the difference here (extra lip) ?)
Front splitter - bigger
Rear Bumper - Colour coded (is shape different?)
Rear lights - darkened (Otherwise identical lighting arrangement?)
Side stripes ? Is there any difference ?

Wheels;
18" Pescaras are standard

Interior;
Seats - Part leather heated seats (red stitching?)
Gear knob - Differences ?
Limited edition with unique build number on plaque
Mats - red stitching
Wheel - red stitching
 

Please confirm ??'s and add and confirmed differences.

Don't take this the wrong way, but is there a purpose to this ?

I can understand why you'd want a good idea of the main mechanical differences if you intend to tune, but whether the mats have got red stiching or not

A few weeks ago I was looking at the differences - but because I want to tune, So I sold my Gti and bought an ED30. Didn't cost the earth to upgrade and now I have a more insurance friendly route to big power. A new exhuast and a remap sounds better than ''I've changed loads of stuff on my car, including fitting  a bigger turbo, to mimik an Ed30''. My insurance Co charged me no extra to trade up to the ED30 either (well £1.05 admin charge )

Are you buying one ?, or building a database ?

Thanks, I can see where your coming from, but if you don't have anything constructive to say why bother hi-jacking someone's thread.
Don't want to change my GTi... happy with her the way she is, just want to know the exact differences between the two models..

why bother hi-jacking someone's thread.

That ain't no hi-jack.

This is a hi-jack!



Speaking of hijacks, did anyone else hear about that missing plane?
An Air France plane was supposed to be returning to France. Went missing.

Some people think it's a hijack.

As for the Air France plane. Jeeze I hope not.   It all sounds a bit dodgy though.
