Only 20bhp more?

erm remap?

2 can play that game... now 30 bhp more??  :rolleyes:

It will still always be worth 5k less than the newer model so there really isnt much saving to be had unless your modding further, or prefer the MK5. etto

Depends, i can see the mk6 being forgotten about as its nothing new over the mk5.
Will be the equivalent mk3/mk4 in a few years time. The ED30 is a special edition anniversary model, will hold its value better in the long run! Mk4 annis are still fetching £9k!

The ED30 gets 330bhp i thought, the mk6 is 270 isnt it? Thats a lot more than 30bhp difference!

The ED30 has the engine from the new Golf R.
The Mk6 has a new lightweight eco model.
Tweaked up these are the figures to be expected.

ed30 + remap = 280-290bhp
mk6 gti + remap = 260-270bhp

So not a huge difference. but the mk6 engine is alot more economical when your just tootling along. i can easily see above 40mpg in light traffic. not to mention lower tax band, new shape, better interior, and electronic diff (or whatever you want to call it).

The only reason you would buy the old shape is if you prefer it, or are going be modding to the extreme

I think if you modded a mk6 similarly you wouldn't be far off those figures, that's stage2 map, exhuast etc.

Anyway, more than 270 odd horses through a front wheel drive car doesn't sound like a spectacularly good idea.

340 horses out of an ED30 is bonkers though, well done that man!

Have to agree... im not sure I want to remap mine now as all it wants to do is spin its wheels :undecided: (but probably will anyway :grin:)

anything more than 250 would be a big issue unless there is a diff fitted, but as we know alot of the ed30 boys are all pushing more than 300bhp anyway. Has to be an R32 + turbo or Golf R + modds to really be a perfect car.
