Another New Ed30 Owner..

[T88OMM]

I had both done at the same time, can now switch the map on and off using the cruise control stalk

i love that idea!! is that always the case? i want this if i ever get it done. i dont have cruise control so would have to get tha done first

Yeah the best thing to do is have it all done in one go like Gaz so when you pick the car up not only have you got 300 bhp to play with but cruise control to keep your speed down on the motorways, not that you will straight after a remap

Welcome, Ben,

This site helped pass the time before delivery - we've had ours just a couple of weeks - no shiny pics yet, but here's a couple to be getting on with (white glows in the dark)

Cheers for the welcome chaps.. There's some great pics there, only prob now is I want it now.. Ha!
One other question (I will do a search too), I will obviously be having it mapped almost straight away-ish. Basically want a reliable map, that can be turned on and off. Had Revo on my LCR for over 70,000 miles and not had one hicup, so may use them again. But on the LCR the Revo is quite an aggresive map that tails off at higher revs and I quite fancy a more revvy power delivery this time. I did hear that the new 2.0 TFSI map from Revo is spot on and isn't as aggressive as the old one, but more linear. Also I quite fancy a RR of before and after this time..
Now I know a lot of you chaps have had they're GTI's mapped, so without starting a tuner war off here, what's my best option? Revo, Bluefin etc etc..

Also, has any of you chaps taken your Ed30's to the Pod for a 1/4 mile run? I would be interested in seeing what a mapped one is capable of? Best I managed in my LCR with Revo Stage 1 is 14.0 @ 99mph (about 8 bloody times). So would think (going on power/weight) a properly driven Ed30 should be capable of mid 13's @ well over a ton.. Just wondered whether anyone has found out yet?
Cheers, Ben.

As far as I know its only APR that have sussed the map switching with the cruise, the others use a hand held switching device you plug into the diagnostic port

I'm not to fussed whether it's a handheld device or done on the Cruise control.. How much was your map mate? Did it go on the rollers too I take it?

Yeah the Bluefin is a handheld that you plug in, takes twenty minutes to switch though, switching with cruise sounds much better but not sure why you would want to, I've only done it once when I first got it, just to compare the difference etc. but never even considered it since. Will remove for first service in case they do any ECU updates or whatever.
