Modded Ed30 Walk Through

[illyun]

You really dont get any wheel spin?

Very impressive!

Was wondering whn you were going to mention the brakes, what you thinking off when you upgrade?

Hardly any wheel spin at all 

Brakes?  I already have some    But they are the original set and not very good - thinking about VWR Brakes or Tarox or decent Brembos etc... not sure yet.

If you've got any information about the dsg clutch upgrade please let me know, thanks..

I got in touch with VWR about installing an uprated clutchpack, with a quaif diff at the same time, and they didn't want to know about the clutch pack, saying that the standard clutch pack is more than man enough for a standard(although remapped) GTi - even though I'm getting clutch slip at about 3K revs on hard accelleration..

I keep hearing about the DSG software updates that are supposed to increase the clamping pressure of the clutches, but no real news about UK installers - very frustrating.

Very nice car and makes me wish I'd waited the extra 3 months for an Ed30.

I would have thought your GTI is making around 280bhp with Stage 2... my Ed30 was making 320bhp - and I know a few that are making 350+bhp without DSG upgrades etc... with no problem.  You shouldn't have any issues at the level of power you are running at.  But then again, how many times have you used launch control?    If you really are getting clutch slip, i'd get it checked out by a reputable tuner like Awesome GTI, JKM, VWR (if they do that kind of thing) etc... depending on where you live.  Revo are also preparing DSG software but I'm not when its going to be released.

My car only has a Suprechips stage 1 remap, therefor about 240bhp not sure about the torque but about 280 or so, so it's pathetic that the cluches are slipping. I have taken the car on a couple of track days and around the Nurburgring, all whilst standard, and it is fine when I flash it to standard, just slips at between 3-3.5k when remapped as it just can't take the low down torque. It's only done 11k aswell so even more anoying, but I do drive it hard when I drive it.

I don't mind spending the money it's just trying to find someone to sort it is impossible.

The main thing is since I've had it remapped, running it in stadard form is not what I want to do for a long time as it totally transforms the car. I might use it as an excuse to get a new MkVI R20

Ah, Superchips.. well that explains it then    Its not the first time this has happenned with them.  Call Superchips and have a word - they will give you a different map to try.  Do you have Bluefin?  Alternatively, get a refund from Superchips and try Revo.

How many times can you use launch control?

Was told only 3...

My understanding is that the ed30 'launch control' is different, in that you have control over how many revs you want -this should help prevent clutch slip if you use less revs.

I have a supplement in my handbook saying how to use it, so I'm not sure how they can tell you not to! I mean can they even tell you've used it? It's not like you have to press a big red button called launch control, just switch the esp off which you will need to do when it's snowing anyway.

any updates on your problems illyun? have you had the new injectors fitted?

Its in at JKM right now having the injectors replaced.  I hope this finally sorts the bl00dy thing out otherwise I'll take it to Revo.

Ady-GTi have you considered doing a dsg service early? 
Hurdy was having slippage with his car that seems to have been sorted after his early dsg service.
