I have just put a deposit down on a standard Edition 30 which I will be picking up on Saturday. Bloody excited!
I want to get some power upgrades done and would love some advice from people with the experience, I have zero!
I have been on Awesome's site and have seen this, which does sound pretty good to me:
http://www.awesomegti.com/car/vw/golfmk5/apr-stage-3-turbocharger-kit-volkswagen-golf-mk5-edition-30-pirelli-edition (http://www.awesomegti.com/car/vw/golfmk5/apr-stage-3-turbocharger-kit-volkswagen-golf-mk5-edition-30-pirelli-edition)
I am wondering if APR is a recommended for the Edition. I want to be around the 350-370bhp mark, I know figures don't mean much to some. I understand I would need some coil overs and better brakes, but what else would be required, I have no idea.
What other tuning options do I have, I have around 5-7k to spend all in. Would love some advice on what to do as I don't know where to start.
Thanks in advance, once I have got some valuable opinions and a decision on what to do I will start a build thread.
Thanks
Jay

If you are serious and are after 350+ on a ed 30 then you don't need anything like that kit. But my guess is you already know that :happy2:

high pressure fuel pump
induction kit
rs4 fuel pressure regulator valve
bigger intercooler
that should see 360bhp / 400 lb/ft

It will feel substantially laggier than the stock hardware remapped, but it will punch a lot harder up top.

Sounds like a wind up, your first choice for tuning is a 6.5k complete turbo upgrade !Like i said i aint got a clue about this kind of stuff, it was on their site and i thought i would see what everyones opinion is, if you think its a wind up you dont have to reply mate simple as. I rang up rtech today who told me what i needed to do to get to that power for alot less.

Personally I'd enjoy the car as it is for a bit first and get the feel for itYe to be honest i think i will have to as rtech recommended aks tuning to carry out the hardware upgrades and they can only book me in for jan 2016.
