Edition 30 GTI Engine?

[Organisys]

I don't own a Mk5, but I have owned VAGs for quite a few years now. I will says this, VW dealers, including parts, sales, technicians..... don't know very much about there own cars.

I wouldn't even let a main dealer service my car even if it was under warranty.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Dubs, but the dealers are a JOKE.

the ed 30 gti has the same engine upgrades as the s3, over the standard gti.

Not quite.

Just to be slightly pedantic, the Ed30 has the same engine "internal" upgrades, as well as the same turbo as the S3.  However, the S3 has a much larger intercooler, whereas the Ed30 and the standard GTI share the same weedy intercooler!

So this therefore poses the question...... Does the Golf have enough space for a bigger intercooler?

apparently  the intercoolers are the same size, the difference is the s3 has aluminium  end tanks, as apposed to the golfs plastic ones.

Not quite, the standard Golf intercooler has a full width aluminium intercooler, with aluminium end tanks.  The S3 has the same spec, but it is bigger!

i think forge said they tried a bigger one, and it made hardly any difference to an allready good intercooler, so then tried the twin setup and it worked alot better

I wasn't trying to argue over the source of the extra 30bhp, just to highlight Phil's fate in that all the VW dealers are unsure of what they are selling.

I think from the evidence put forth it is almost definately more than a remap, just can't understand why VW don't know the facts and sell the cars based on their full merits.

mmm..thought there HAD to be a difference somewhere ED30 / S3

I used to have quite a cool water spray on the intercooler on my Evo6

Was operated via a switch by the gear shift
