I Would do gaz, but she who keeps the purse strings wont see it that way, i must admit, the fuel bill is just about ok but if i had even more power, id be even worse by putting my size 11 down even more frequently!. A mate of mine also has a black 07 ed30 chipped up to 300 horsepower and wants to come along to either santa pod or inters in convoy. he's promised me a test drive, but agree's that the ed30 is pants from a standing start because there's no traction untill u hit 50mph, and tbh id rather have the grip then constant wheel bounce if you seriously mod the thing, you'd have to do more mods like youve done already gaz, and that gets rather expensive.You cant do monsterous speeds without risking your licence in this country so its really hard also to justify. So thats why i keep telling myself. :smiley:

Try the DSG, see if you can get on with it, no point asking other people if you dont like it

Try both, I loved the DSG box within half a mile.

Try both, I did.. and didn't like the DSG. The DSG won't hold up to the torque from a turbo conversion without an upgrade though.

Totally agree, I had a regular GTi first also, and the main difference is that top end surge the bigger turbo gives :evil:, you should try it with a remap :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
does bigger turbo= More LAG?
especially when you are talking about a k04 turbo.

Hi you guys. Just raced a GTI with að DSG and I drive a manual one and I was faster :laugh:. That means I shift faster than a DSG right? :laugh:
