Probably the most important bit for most is the tunability of the edition 30 

[pitch3110]

........I think that covers it........apart from the red stitching

oh.........and the gear knob

but apart from all the other lists and the red stitching and the gear knob, what did the romans ever do for us...........

As above

+ darkened rear light lenses as standard

the 18" Pescaras are standard too (whereas on the normal GTi 17" Monzas are standard)

never been quite sure about the exhaust - is it slightly bigger bore on the ED 30 ??

[zub-gti]

No exhaust is the same.. i have read that in another post.

Thanks to all for your response.

You mention the bigger turbo, can this be installed on the STd GTI with a remap ?

Also, Why is the 'tunability' better for the ED30 ?

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

thanks,

Hi Zub,

Look in the colours section (linky below) and there are several photo's of Edition 30's in there.

The tuneability of the ED30 is better as it is already a basically de-tuned S3 engine (slightly different compression ratio though). The S3 engine already develops 261bhp as stock. 

A standard GTI produces (officially) 197bhp and with mods you can see around 265bhp max - so about 68bhp increase
A standard ED30 (officially) produces 227bhp and with the same mods will see up to around 330bhp - so about 103bhp increase.

Thought the edition 30 had a 3" downpipe ?, I'm sure some smart arse will be along to prove me wrong though

[danishmkvgti]

Same exhaust, i have both the gti and ed30 at home, and they are exactly the same.

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 ?
