Title: Lets talk Stage 2 Edition 35.......WITH PICTURES
Post by: Oli on November 17, 2012, 07:27:19 pm
.....After deciding keep the ED35, which is currently REVO stage 1 (300bhp on JKMs heartbreaker), I think I should pepp it up a bit more, performance wise.  Stage 2 being the next logical step  :smiley:

Ive already spoken to Charlie at Milltek and sorted a nice price on a TBE resonated system, so thats the exhaust side sorted.

I will be dropping Dan an email at Vanworx reference the stage 2 software, and I should also consider the DSG software - Does anyone know if this is out for the ED35 yet?  And what does the DSG software give me over the standard software, apart from upping the torque levels?

And finally, the intake - On my previous stage 2 GTI's Ive always had Carbonspeed, but there are obviously better gains to be had out there now, but Id like to keep noise levels down as its my wife's car etc etc

Thanks in advance

If it's your wife's car, shouldn't she be the one who decides if it needs 'pepping up'?

As a gather from your message, so  could I really run it stage 2 with no intake.  They always breath better with an intake, but i dont want it sounding like darth vadars cousin, when my wife is on the school run.....

maybe a panel filter? more air but non of the noise.
Title: Re: Lets talk Stage 2 Edition 35........
Post by: RedRobin on November 18, 2012, 08:01:48 am
.
By virtue of being a hollow pipe, any and every aftermarket tubular air intake is going to make more noise than a flat panel filter type. Some are 'noisier', or should I say 'louder', than others.

Agree with Matt.. I never ran an intake on my ED30 until it went Stage 2+. I ran it with Stage 2 (Milly TBE and panel filter) for 18 months and it was plenty quick enough.. :wink: Only went for an intake in the end when going Stage 2+ .
One of the most noticeable things about going Stage 2 is the DP and spool up. Huge difference IMO..

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to reply about that. :grin:

If the OP is worried about noise then just stick with the OEM filter. When it comes to replace the filter put a pipercross or K&N filter in. You'll not see much gains, but the placebo effect is great :laugh:

Suits me perfectly, i thought you needed a filter/intake for stage 2.

And reference SRR, why dont we aim for February time, after xmas etc is out of the way

Stage 2 re-map shortly afterwards (REVO)
NQSBBK being ordered tomorrow, via DaveB's mate Jonny -  http://www.brakecaliperrefurbs.co.uk/  Going for GTI red - Anyone got any ideas on logos?, Im just thinking on keeping it plain.

Just a small update on this;

Ive just paid for the NQSBBK off Jonny at BCR.  Ive gone for the standard GTi red with Brembo logos in white.  Ive got Ferrodo DS2500 pads, ready to go on new standard discs, that will have the inner 7mm taken off by 1mm, and then painted so I dont have the rust line from unused disc face.

The Milltek is due for delivery later this week, Ive gone for the race system, with the resonated pipe, to keep noise levels down.

Im then going Revo stage 2, and hopefully a DSG map, to take the torque limiters out etc - waiting for a reply from Revo as to whether they do this for the Ed35 yet, as they didnt when the stage 1 map was put on.

Hoping for 320-330bhp, with a nice brake setup......perfect for the school run.  :innocent:

ITG closed cone intake doesn't add any real noise, to my disappointment. Not cheap though
Title: Re: Lets talk Stage 2 Edition 35........
Post by: Hurdy on January 01, 2013, 12:19:33 pm
The DSG map is a Must do Oli. 

Faster, cleaner gear changes
Removes the torque limiter
Increases clamping pressure on the clutch packs for better torque handling
Locks out kick down and auto gear up in manual mode.
Sport mode becomes less frantic

 :happy2:

Don't know if Revo do a DSG map for the ed35 yet either. They didn't do one for the Golf R and yet again told me "it is in the pipeline, they just have other projects on the go first" which to me translated as "it will be around a year, if ever" if my experience of waiting for a DSG map for the Polo GTI was anything to use as a yardstick. GIAC may be able to do one though. Avoid Custom-Code at all costs for the DSG map though if you have Revo.
Title: Re: Lets talk Stage 2 Edition 35........
Post by: rich83 on January 01, 2013, 12:35:29 pm
Another recommendation for DSG map. It works like a treat on my ed30... you just have to keep and eye on things so you dont forget to change and bounce off the limiter.  :signLOL:

Spacers on order, Ive ordered 5mm and 8mm, I think the 8mm will be best to give a little clearance.

Exhaust is nearly on, will be finished in the morning. Then stage 2 coding will be on moday am, and brakes hopefully fitted in the afternoon  :happy2:

Post by: Oli on January 11, 2013, 11:05:18 pm
Sorry no pictures yet, but I will get some up after the brakes are done. 

The exhuast is now fitted.  I went for the race system resonated, and It sounds great.  The standard system on the Ed35 sounded really good already and I didnt want to loose that, and Milltek have done it perfectly, the DSG pharps are slighlty louder, and maybe the exhaust slightly louder overall, but its very oem, which I like.  What I have noticed is the increase in torque, and the engine feels looser - more freer reving, as Ive noticed on previous Milltek systems.  One thing that is very good, is the slight hesitation that I had after each gearchange under full throttle, after the stage 1 map was put on, has now gone totally  :smiley:

Roll on monday, when Im off to Vanworx to get the stage 2 coding, and pick up the wheel spacers, to fit the brakes.  I think it will be a good all round package then.

 :smiley:

Post by: Oli on January 15, 2013, 02:43:38 pm
As said the exhaust went on last week, but Vanworx did the stage 2 coding yesterday with the linear throttle map - It feels a lot stronger torque wise, and mid range is definately better. 

Today its on the ramp having the NQSBBK fitted, as can be seen, all very easy to fit(so my technician tells me :wink:) , and will be off on roadtest shortly.  Ive put 8mm H& R hubcentric spacers on it, to clear the wheels with longer wheel bolts.

Will let you know how they feel after roadtest  :happy2:

I was under the impression that the thinnest true hubcentric spacers for our cars started at 10mm. Could you post a pic of the spacer in your next update?

Officially ignored.

All I can say is the brakes are excellent, and that is after only 50 miles, on standard pads.  Far superior to the standard brakes.  Coupled with the stage 2 coding, the car is brillaint  :happy2:

I did this too, but cut a circle out of cardboard so the overspray wasnt quite so far across the face of the disc.   :laugh:

Looks great, and i still think you made the right choice going for brembo decals!!  :happy2:

Looks good Oli.

Worthwhile little mod machining those discs back the 7mm going to look very OEM.

Brembo decals look good actually, I love the Porsche/Dub brake thing....remember people putting 944 Turbo brakes on Mk1s and Mk2s years ago and then some BBS alloys to finish it off, the brembo thing looks contemporary though and holds its own like a modern day Cupra R

Glad the pedals coming to you which pads did you go for in the end?

I went for standard Ferodo pads at the moment, as the wrong DS2500 pads came through, and they feel great.  I will run these for a while, and see how they are but for the sort of fast road driving I do they may well be adeqaute.

Ref the overspray, it came off after the first application of the brakes.

Ref the Brembo logo's I might take them off as they are a bit in your face........

Those brakes look brilliant...I prefer them with Brembo decals, especially when not on a Porsche :happy2:

I should be getting a set from Jonny this week, can't wait :party:

P.S. Do you have any pics with the wheels on?

I have the rear spacers now, and will be fitting them this week, so will get pictures then.  Plus this weather recently has been terrible and it hasn't been cleaned for a few weeks!

Post by: Oli on February 04, 2013, 09:20:22 pm
Quick update.  I finally managed to get the car into work today to finish off the outstanding jobs;

Remove rear discs and paint the hubs black to match the front.
Fit rear 8mm hub centric spacers, to match front wheels.
Reset brake warning light using VCDS, due to NQSBBK not having brake wires.
Fit the lower upgraded engine mount, as supplied with the exhaust - Have noticed a little bit more vibration at idle since this has been fitted, is this really necessary as it certainly felt smoother before.  I never noticed this vibration on any of my previous TFSI cars with Milltek exhausts and the mount fitted
And had a quick valet, before getting some pictures taken - not the best due to iPhone and poor light, but you get the idea


Really looking forward to getting it on the rollers at JKM next month to see what she's making,  it certainly feels every bit of 330BHP that its supposed to be, and the midrange punch is phenomenal.  I am told that the Edition 35/Golf R engine has a HPFP as standard, hence the better figure they seem to be making when compared to the ED30, and it would make sense considering the pretty poor mpg! - Can/Has anyone confirm this about the pump??

Enjoy :happy2:

Can't wait to get my NQSBBK now :party:

So you don't have the brake pad wear sensor fitted? I'm not planning to either, so you can just remove the warning via VCDS?

Do you know this for certain as its not what I'm being told. Plus my stage 1 ED35 made the same power as my stage 2 ED30 - 300bhp. I think I'll ring TPS today and get some part numbers. Be nice to clear this up. I've heard Rebo are releasing some new coding specifically for this engine and pump

If that's the case, it's a simple and cheaper to buy an oem fuel pump and retrofit to the 30 !

Interested to know this too...

That's a very nice car..   :notworthy:

I've also been considering NQSBBK refurbed red with some simple brembo logos on them, much nicer and OE looking than having the porsche script IMHO.

Did they fit the glendales without spacers?

Re the HPFP, Revo Kev said something similar when he put the revised map on my car, along lines the new CDL engines have a better pump hence able to make better numbers than the ED30s did!

So begs the question, will one of these pumps fit the Ed30...??

If so, that would be a realistically cheap mod for some more top end shove..
Title: Re: Lets talk Stage 2 Edition 35.......WITH PICTURES
Post by: GrayMK5GTI on February 05, 2013, 09:38:34 pm
I imagine the camshaft is different on the ED35 so maybe it gives a bit more pressure on the pump through that??

Interesting to know if that's true. Surely Hurdy would know as his R would have had this same pump??

@Saintsteve - no reason why the pump wouldn't fit?? The APR HPFP fits the CDL engines so should be a simple swap.

Well according to TPS its the same pump, no. 06F127025K.  So it must be witchcraft as to why the Ed35 makes better figures........

ED35's and Golf R's do make more power than an ED30 after a remap. I'm still not sure why, they just do! Maybe it is one of those VW "don't tell anyone" modifications?

The pump is definitely the same as the Autotech internals still fit straight in.

Using the same dyno operators or the same group of different operators is always going to help to make comparisons. However, different weather on different days etc etc, always make any comparisons merely a realistic guide rather than an exact science.

What really matters is how she feels to drive and that the plotted curves are smooth and no issues are revealed.

As Robin said. Weather, atmospheric pressure and the fact that all engines are different. A newer engine will less carbon build up on the valves also  :happy2:

I understand what you and RR are saying, I've been down this avenue many times, with various cars.  Both cars were approx on 10k and just over a year old.  But as Ive said before the Ed35 is definitely getting better results from the same level of tuning, and I like to know how.

Are there any Revo stage 2 Ed30's going to JKM in March, as that will be the real test.  And REVO might have released the new software for the Ed35 by then..., which apparently will release more potential!

All I know is it makes me laugh out loud when I drive it, its just so bloody quick at stage 2.
