how does a remapped Gti fair against standard edition30?

Well according to Santa Pod's timing gear, very similar (only 1/10th sec in it). Although the Ed30 was DSG, but the GTI had other mods over remap (ie Exhaust, FMIC, Intake etc).
In accelaration terms I would say the mapped GTI would take a small lead upto just under triple figures, then after that the KO4 would bring the ED30 back in play and turn the tables around (but again by a small margain).

Out of interest did anyone run their cars against an R32?

I might take my wife's R32 next time - along with the Ed30  :wink:  I think the low mileage on the R32 will have a negative impact on the times as the engine is notoriousl tight at low mileages - my wife's R32 has done 3000 miles.

I did :evil:

Rupo off the R32OC went up against me, bloomin' fast off the mark those R32's :grin:

However I did give a big smile to him as I passed him about halfway down the strip :evil:

The time slip is below and I'm on the right.....please ignore my embarrasing 60' time :embarassed:

Was that stock??

14secs doesnt appear to be a bad time if it is. I thought just under 15 is what you would expect from a std R32 :huh:

I think Rupo has quite a few mods :

Schrick Cams - Milltek NON-RES - Bored out fuel inlet - Remap - Pipercross CAI - Haldex Controller (race) - Bilstien PSS9 Coilovers - Braided hoses - 19' Lambo Wheels - Carbon Bonnet - Alloy mirrors

He managed a 13.866 in a manual R32 :

joe doesnt realise that if i was using full launch control, he would of been toast :wink:. Bring on the spring joe!
Joking aside......

Both a remapped GTi with lots of mods against a standard ED30 dsg were clocking same times within a tenth of a second of each other.And terminal speeds were the same too. So the answer is pretty much the same BUT will depend of state of tune.A couple of remapped GTi's were alot slower down the recent quarter mile run at Santa Pod raceway, but one that was lightened by alot (joes) shall we say and near stage 2 was the same as my standard ed30.
In addition, remapped 300+ stage 2 ed30's were only 1 or 2 tenths faster over a quarter mile, again traction issues.
Yes it was very cold and getting grip was tough, but its the same for both Vehicals so that cant be the reason for such a close set of results.
You have to throw some serious money at it to see huge benefits


The moral of the story is, if you cant control the traction, and cant afford to mod to cope, then dont bother  :wink: If you can then go for it. Awesome Machine  :smiley:
