what does "dual scroll" turbo mean?

Evo may be doing a test with this against the Astra VXR which would be fun 

Source BMW

BMW Twin Scroll technology consists of a sole turbocharger driven through two exhaust pipes. As it does with two smaller turbochargers this double charging causes a quicker build-up of pressure and thus more direct engine response. However the Twin Scroll turbo takes up less space and saves weight. The result: better dynamics, improved performance, less consumption.

I'm looking forward to the EVO video.

Looks well Mike, there is no doubting its VFM. Need to own a RWD with some decent grunt one day. Still not sold on the looks, but a mates dad has got one with the BMW Performance body kit and 19's. Completely transforms it.

I forget who, but a magazine done a comparison between this and the RS3. Auto car maybe?

WANT !!
That's what I'm looking for next, a car I don't need to modify !
Well it would be rude not to add a Zorst !

I'm sure it drives and goes well buy what a hideous car much rather have a golf r over that or an rs3

The looks have grown on me a little but..... not to the point of me having one, everything else on the car screams "get one", then engine sounds and from the reviews is awesome and to be honest seems steps ahead of some other manufacturers. 

to get that kinds of performance and dare I say 'economy' from a engine like that is fantastic.

i think its looks are quite masculine, cant say it looks like a hairdressers car. also quite colour sensitive - looks good in white, gunmetal grey etc.
 
how does it compare to a stg 2+ Eddie. Or an R32 

[tony_danza]

I've no idea of ED30 power comparisons, as I only had a St2+ K03 car. It would piss on that.

Sunglasses Ron would be a better person to ask, he's gone from ED30 to N55 135i, albeit in coupe form.

Obviously an R32 will kill all.

I've had stg2+ ed30 and my 135i has been stage 1/2/3/4

Stage 1 is quicker in every way than any stg2+ k04 car. I've overlayed dyno graphs and its easy to see why.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Have to disagree there Dave..

This is a Vbox overlay from my 135i DMS Stage 1 and my Revo Stage 2+ Ed30 (both DSG/DCT) at MLR's 30-130mph day. Same temp, same conditons (Golf - Blue / BM - Red).



Over that range I honestly expected the Ed30 to be slightly quicker to be honest.  With their power outputs being fairly close but the BM humping an extra 150kgs about, it would obviously make sense. So when I first saw this to say I was shocked was an understatement..   About close as you will get I think..

This is also mirrored at Santa Pod. Both have ran 12.7's, although I feel the BM has anther 1/10 or 2 in it with a bit more practise. This is more down to better traction though..

makes sense, cause rwd and a map and a downpipe takes you circa 400bhp on one of these?
