Bluefin Edition 30

[RedRobin]

Carbon ram air looks a particularly sweet piece of kit

....I may be selling my Carbonio intake soon. As it's not the sort of component which wears, it would be a good deal for whoever buys it.

Anyone thinking of getting one of these?

The site quotes standard output of Ed30 tested at 244bhp and 231ft/lb and the upgrade to 307bhp and 288ft/lb.

Not quite sure if I would want that much power and torque through the front wheels though

Spoke to Milltek and they are developing a full exhaust system for the Ed30 which is due for a May release. This may give me enough extra horsies and torques without a remap

....A Milltek exhaust will improve throttle response and might give you about 5 bhp extra UNLESS you remap your car, then the gains are more significant.

My Revo Stage1 delivers 244 bhp according to the last rolling road plot and it doesn't make the car a handful at all. It brings out the best imo. I've driven 270 bhp Mk5 GTI's and even those are very smooth - You just need to have a sensitive right foot, which you should have anyway, even for the unmodified GTI.

Redrobin has made it across from Tyresmoke to Golfgti!!

....I've gone much further than that! Am active across the pond too . I'm not leaving Tyresmoke - Have made too many real-life (not just virtual) friends there.

I'm glad to say that these various forums seem to have varying approaches. But we're all GTI enthusiasts! [Wot!? No thumbsup icon? ]

Back on topic - I agree with those who point out the potential problems of using the internet as a medium for remap settings - Scary!! Also, I have never been impressed by Superchips' ethos and attitudes as I've heard. The Jury is still out as far as I'm concerned but they are clearly more of a risk than Revo or APR, who both have switchability.

....I have been seriously considering an EVOMS but am now very unimpressed by their sole UK distributor's responses (Regal, Southampton). The EVOMS is obviously a good product but I've been re-assessing my Carbonio (and hearing it more with the windows down!). The main reason for swopping was EVOMS delivers more gain and sounds louder, although with one unpleasant grating noise. However, simply learning the fact that oettinger uses the Carbonio gives me more faith. Revo recommended it to me too. My VW dealer is cool about my Carbonio and even fitted it, but I'm not sure they would be so easy going about changing the engine cover re any warranty issues. So I'm probably going to keep the Carbonio for now at least.
