Welcome, the ED30's are amazing, love mine!

Stage 1 you can expect around 300BHP. Stage 2 it then depends what other mods your running..

Also consider the DSG map if you have a DSG.. Helps alot!

Enjoy!  :happy2:

I can't imagine you will get 60 bhp from a generic map like blue fin ( had one on a focus st)
Is it worth paying for revo apr etc?

Also I'm wondering how my ed30 would look on some dished Lm's although I don't fancy lowering it. Could anyone point me in the direction of a wheels thread?

Welcome on board and to the Eddy club as well.  :drinking:

Stage 1 will add around 20% so somewhere north of 280bhp. A CAI will release some more ponies as will a Pre cat deleted TBE (stage 2). Bhp is not imported IMO, its the whole package, if you add power (and more importantly torque) other areas of your car will need improving such as the handling and most definitely the brakes.

Stage 1, an Anti Lift Kit and some form of BBK is a good base (and maybe a Cold Air Intake for good measure  :evilgrin:)

Enjoy your new toy!

Hi mate , my bluefin stage 1 gave me just shy of 300 bhp with the stage 2 it was 318 , any more and you need revo or apr etc ...if you want to stick at 300 then a cheap bluefin is defo worth it

Sorry. BBK - Big Brake Kit.

Have a look through this thread below, a great kit (called the NQS BBK by its creator DaveB, a member on here) doesn't have to be expensive (relatively speaking)......

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,13985.0.html


Your Diverter Valve should be fine but as the Revision G (latest flavour of the month if not the latest DV) is only £35 ish I would change it anyway as a precautionary measure. It's a 5 minute job to swap over as your DV is right at the front on your Eddy. The Revision G has been shown to hold boost better, with no leaking, then the later version Revision D. Having an Eddy with a K04 Turbo'd car which comes with plenty of headroom for future tuning.

Part number for a Revision G Diverter Valve if you require it -  06F 145 720 G

If your car is DSG, then ask about a DSG map too, if its a manual you will (sooner rather than later) need an up rated clutch fitting due to all those excitable new torques.

REVO for Linear map with the benefit of the SPS+ switch would be a good place to start for an "out the box" map or Rtech for a custom map, they are 1/2 the price of REVO as well.

Not cheap but another good addition to a mapped 2.0T FSI engine will be a High Pressure Fuel Pump. Something to look into for the future.

Worth a thought.
