In the mood for buying.........................

I think this will have to be my first mod... followed by brakes (I think the brakes on the Ed30 are crap - the R32 ones were way better), intercooler, suspension and THEN and Oettinger re-map.

What would need to be your first mod??

Last night was on awesome gti trying to convince myself to buy the carbonio intake or ifnot get the eibach pro kit...i had 5 ppl sit in the car to see how it would look lower and i must say it looks alot nicer...very undecided

The Forge DV

Have to agree with that, first thing I did was the Forge DV along with Carbonio Intake and Milltek Exhaust. Eibach Pro Kit and R32 rear lights go on next week after its been colour coded 

Will fit the intercooler when I can get down and get it remapped.

I'm still tempted by the ECS upgrade brakes

mines lowered with eibach, looks sweet and handles a hell of a lot better as theres not as much roll. only bad point is that its alot more bumpy. oh ....... and tall speed bumps can be a pain in the @rse!!

i have just done the forge dv on mine and put a panel filter in to it and what great bit of kit the very well made and has made the car hold boost better  so i would say the dv.

you install it urself?

yep sure did and was easy enough to do

in the link it states that it will fit on golf ed30 but what about standard gti??? will this fit coz i want it 

[SteveS]

they do another one that fits the gti. without the R on the end of the model or something

Excuse me for being blonde but what does the forge DV do 

[SteveS]

replaces the bosch plastic one which is prone to leak and crack over time/remap.
the forge one is metal and well... i duno designed better i guess, they claim it improves the boost..

A well developed DV will:-

Help preserve the integrity and life of the turbo
Help the turbo spool up faster and hence give a quicker throttle response

It will not give extra power at the top of the power band, but will help reduce the lag effect of a turbo.
