The K04 turbo in the edition 30 with a remap Will match those Cars for shear grunt of an m3 or rs4 or Porsche 911's etc . I was sceptical when was told but after seeing countless Video's on Youtube. Remap a standard GTi will get you Standard Edition30 performance. Have been out with Redrobins car and vis versa and both cars perform almost identically, and rolling road confirmed it bhp wise, but his Torque figures where 10% higher then mine with the aditional mods he has had done.

I would love to remap but, i truelly scared to go down that route, id either kill myself in the process, wanting to keep nailing it everytime id have the opertunity!!!.Also would mean id be chewing more fuel and shoot up my insurance premiums.
I have got into the habit of putting dsg in Manual and turning off the esp, and it still goes mentally from 40 to 90mph in a blink of an eye, and can catch you if your not prepared!!. Do it if you have the spare £ to do it.Everyone else hasnt said one negative point about doing it.

Its a cracking car , You wont be disapointed with it in any guise, manual or dsg, 3 or 5 door. Just get one as many extra's as its a buyers bargain market currently.

How was yours faster 182_blue (im not saying it wasnt i just mean 30-60, 0-100? etc) i would imagine the reply is going be 'all of those'  :grin:

im not sure on at what speeds as i try to watch the roads  :grin:, but pulling away in first i havnt tried, but in gear and upto licence loosing speeds the ed30 pulled away nicely, he commented on how he just could not keep up and was very suprised how quick it was  :evil:, best thing i can say is you try one as we could tell you all day long but you need to expereince it for yourself

Suffice it to say that even in sixth gear it accelerates from 80 to 100 mph in 4.3 seconds; that’s the kind of performance you’d expect from a Ferrari or Lamborghini rather than a four-door hatchback.

Yeah i appreciate what that, we get people on the ctr forum always asking similar questions but its nice to get personal responses rather than reading someone elses replies!

Cheers phil, unfortunately the buyers market means ill get £8k for mine if im lucky! When i moved to italy earlier this year it was worth £10k and i got back and England had gone tits up lol  :rolleyes: I love my mums car, its such a nice place to be where as mine is simple to keep weight down. I still love my car and it didn't put a foot wrong on the 1300 mile trip to Italy and back, and i had a full load in it to, but im after more pace and some refinement to go with it so i think the ed30 is the best step up!

Cheers for that! A quick letstorquebhp.com calculator just showed me it has more bhp/ton than e46 m3  :laugh:

lol i dont really go out looking for races or anything but always nice to tell your mates  :grin:


Im glad it is as fast as your saying, reading the mk4 forum they ll make out there remapped cars are capable of beating much quicker cars so i was hoping it wasnt the same story here  :smiley:

Yeah my mums standard gti feels alot slower than mine (from a little test i can confirm it also is a fair bit slower) but my aim isnt to get a standard edition 30 as i would keep enough money to instantly remap and have a whole new beast which will piss all over modified ctr's! Ive looked at a supercharger for 300bhp but i want some refinement and comfort with it and the ability to have an on/off car where the ctr is always on, you need to be in the mood to drive it!

Unfortunately living on the isle of wight means i am a bit out the way to experience one and i highly doubt a mapped ed30 is even on the island lol  :rolleyes:

My main hope is to have an overtaking weapon, mine is annoying as i have to take it to the redline and it looks like im trying to hard (and sounds it) which it shouldn't!

JKC, check your e-mail. i have a ED30 which is re-mapped and will be on the iow on Sunday.

I can....  :wink:  :grin:

Hi JKCTR, welcome to the site first of all...
As you already know my 1/4 mile figures I won't bore you with them. But if you want 0-60 0-100 figs I have them too. Plus I have timed mine (albeit with a stopwatch on speedo) from 30-70, 30-100 and 50-100 through the gears (being 3.8, 7.9 and 5.9) if that's what you are after?
Seeing as you already have a 221bhp CTR, you are already at mapped GTI pace I would say. But I would say a mapped ED30 would be comparable to a 280bhp JRSC'd CTR roughly mate..
If you like your mods though. Then there is plenty out there to continue from just the remap. First being a TBE Milltek (which is a must for modders IMO), then uprated fuel pump, FMIC etc etc.. However with just map and exhaust you should be looking at around 320bhp..
Hope that helps anyway..  :grin:
