Edition 30 stage 1

[18Edition30]

Hello all.

All new to this. But have just got myself an edition 30 in black number 127.

Is it true they stage 1 map to 300? How come if soo
 Cheers will

~300bhp.... Usually about 280-290bhp.

The reason? The edition 30 came with a K04 turbo, as opposed to a K03 as used on the normal GTI. The K04 flows better. More flow... more boost... more power!

You won't achieve 300bhp with a stage1 revo map alone. More like 285bhp. Add an intake and that should see you up around the 300 mark :-)

300 is achieved regularly at stg1, most that we dyno/tune will see 290-305

like this one:http://www.dyno-tuning.co.uk/gallery/vwGolfEdition30.htm

Our dyno is generally reared as being a 'low reader' compared to others in the region as well. One of our customers achieved 297bhp/295 ftlb on ours and 334bhp and 329ftlb on a Dastek and similar figures on a Maha.

look past the peak figures though, its more about the power delivery and torque curve.

Well heres mine... stage 1!

Same as you Rich. I achieved 285bhp on a dyno dynamics roller. 300bhp is generous for stage1 alone.

We are talking such small % figured here, add an extra 5-10psi to your tyres on the dyno and you can gain 2-3% power.

Cheers for the replies.

I thought an intake or exhaust would only benefit stage 2? Or would it help with stage 1 as well??

Thinking milltek turbo back, but which intake to go for?? Don't really want to lose the engine cover which I've seen with some intakes. Thanks in advance!!

You can add an intake at stage1 it gives great gains. Think of it as stage1+ .  You could also add a TB exhaust too , but this would be more beneficial if you are thinking of moving up to stage2.

Don't worry about all that nonsense! 

Just go straight for stage2, intake, exhaust, springs & brake upgrade.......................................get it all out of the way early as it's only going to come and bite you on the ass eventually 

Good luck.......................

I'm not bitter by the way 

[18Edition30]

I would if I had the finances andy!

Which intakes are best people? Preferably keeping the engine cover.

Cheers guys.

Hope this helps.

Oh and get a TBE as well and modify the engine cover as below..

Mines been dyno'd at 303bhp and 327ft/lbs torque. That's with Revo stage 1 & a blueflame TBE.

Not sure how accurate the dyno was but seems pretty quick
