Last time I looked they didn't do one for the K04 based cars   :confused:

Hurdy:
Dbilas and Evoms are both more than adequate for the ED30 in terms of an air intake to help you to 330+bhp.

The Evoms has a very raspy sound to it and you WILL get a loud wastegate chatter sound through the EVOM's when coming off throttle at 3-5krpm an most gears :evilgrin: I know I have one. It is a bit of a totally loveit or loathe it sound. Luckily both me and the wife like it (sounds a bit like a WRC turbo chatter :jumping:)

The Dbilas is quieter than the EVOMs and utilises a K&N filter inside the air inlet which replaces the stock inlet.

I also agree with the honourable SteveP that you will require a high pressure fuel pump to truly see 330bhp. :happy2:

Right, so that's that sorted then;

Oettinger remap
Eibach Springs
Black front and back VW badges
Full resonated Milltek

And two questions marks??

DSG remap  - Chatting to Simon who does the Oettinger map, he says he can do a DSG map as well - Is this worth it, I like the idea of being able to hit the limiter
Intake - Of the two suggested I want the quieter one, as my wife will be ferrying the kids around most of the time in it, and I do not want it - LOOK AT ME!!

Cheers for all your help

SteveP:
^^ If you want to keep it quiet then just stick a decent panel filter replacement in, that will be enough map and exhaust for your power aims.  :happy2:

DSG Remap, for me it's on the future mods list and do think it's a worthwhile mod to enable you to unleash the full power of your other upgrades plus (if this is like the other DSG maps I have seen) will improve the manual mode and remove the annoying features like the kick-down :smiley:

Oli:
Thanks Steve.

On my 8p S3, I had the full Milltek, Oettinger and carbon speed intake, and it was perfect for my needs, so may well go down this avenue - I think I'll go on Youtube and find some EVOMs intake noise clips!

Off at 6 am to pick the car up!  ( I am in the motor trade, so deal with cars everyday, but I will still have a sleepless night tonight - such a petrol head!)
