Just in a straight line performnace shouldn't take much as far as I can work out. A mk4 GTI weights around 1230kgs so running remap/tip etc 220bhp a mk4 BHP PER TON is 180.85bhp/t
Where as a mk5 ED30 weights 1330kgs and 230bhp works out around 173 BHP PER TON  :smiley:

some good figures there,

anyone know what power standard internals will cope with, on an agu lets say lol

About 300BHP I think (don't quote me though)

Keep the ED30 and buy a V6 mk4 ;)

But the ed30 remaps to over 300bhp! Also i have yet to see any RR figures of 220bhp mk4's (with just a remap)

So a 300bhp ed30 will have a bhp/ton of 229.53 (or more than an M3)

The amount it would cost would not be worth it imo. I would get an S3 and map that as it will be much better than the Mk4 in performance terms http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/872968.htm

The cost of all the above, you may as well keep the ED30 and buy a Mk4 and have both

Lol I'm not gonna sell the ED30 at any time soon. Just wanted a mk4 as well!

With the ED30 I can't do any dash mods since it's still in warranty. But with a mk4, I could make my own KITT!  :evil:
