GTI Edition 30 or R32?!

[AlanD]

If I had the choice I would get an ED30 over the others (for lots of reasons). My budget at the time wouldn't stretch for one so got a a GTI. A few choice mods and I love it to bits ! Clearly with the ED30 having a larger turbo it will remap much higher, but you need to remember that these are FWD. The 250 my GTI is pushing out is more then enough for me to put through the front wheels.

Tell that to Hurdy 

Yeah, but Hurdy has spent eye watering amounts on LSDs etc

LSD makes the differance round corners a bit yes but a well set up eddie with good tyres is awesome, i liked driving the VWR car with the diff because you can slam it into roundabouts its awesome but at the same time im more than happy without to be fair

Yeah can have as good a tyre as you want (Im running Goodyear EF1 Asyms) but you always going to understeer going into a corner at too fast a speed and with soo much torque your always going to wheel spin.

[nick30]

ive got a hell of a lot of torque alan, and i struggle to induce wheel spin

even when coming off the lights you need to hammer it in first to get a little, but its all about throttle control aswell. oh yeh and goodyears suck! 

[AlanD]

Sounds like you got it all sorted then

A remaped (Im guessing by the lots of torque?) ED30 that struggles to wheel spin? . . . .

Throttle control is just human traction control, whats the point in having ALL the power if you cant put it down. Dont get me wrong, theres A LOT to be said about being able to thread the power down.
