How fast (really) is a remapped ED30?

[Vtec Abuser]

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.

  WHAT!!!??? a remapped gti is ALOT quicker than a std ed30, i have vidoes to proove!!!! 

Can't see it mate.. If anything I would say the ED30 would probably nip it once at high speeds, as it has it's power higher in the revs than the Ko3 GTI...
Would say they would be very close though to be honest. Even though from the RR days the standard Ed30's were making a fair bit more power than the mapped/modded GTI's..

ben, i know somebody very well who has a red std ed30, he also has a merc mclaren, and i have raced him on more than one ocasion!! i will post vids tomorrow, ive gone against him from 30-120 got to 2 car lengths ahead and it stayed at 2 car lengths, also done a drag from standstill to 100 and still beat him. had a pint afterwards to discuss and before everybody starts saying...."he cant have been trying" he was, also he has dsg,

stage1 GTi IS the same Joe, redrobins GTi has had more mods and is the same as mine, as proven on Motorway run with him and rolling road.Both Dsg's which are even quicker then a manual one. Unless youve done more then robin or gone stage 2, then id like to see evidence to proove the cars in your video's are what they say they are. K03 turbo has smaller gains over the k04. Which brings in the accuracy of some rolling roads giving inacurate or overated readings.
Im looking foward to this up coming rolling road at JKM portsmouth on the dyno dynamics rollers with some standard GTi's coming to put some of this in true text.

well i still believe robins car is under-performing as even revo advertise the gti to have atleast 240bhp after a re-map, also all the extra mods that robin has and it still only pulled 236bhp?? wtf?? mine ran 230 and wasnt even boosting past 5k 

[joesgti]

infact revo advertise it as 255!!!

Right, outside, now...  
Not saying your comparison isn't right, but it's one comparison with 2 cars. I think on the whole there will be little between them..
If you look at the recent Awesome RR day Joe, the standard Ed30's made a fair bit more power than all the modded GTI's (not just mapped) there. But again this isn't fact as no two cars are the same really..
A mapped GTI will realistically make around 240bhp and i'm pretty sure most Ed30's that go on the rollers make at least that..
Yeah the mapped GTI will have more torque, but it will also run out of puff quicker. So on the whole I would say they would be very close. The GTI would get a little jump lower down, but I would say the ED30 would pull it back once in the higher gears..
Either way, there wouldn;t be enough of a difference to say THAT one is quicker IMO..

at the RR day both mine robs and negs car were all underperforming, mine is sorted now, not sure about theirs. Also why would revo advertise 255bhp from a KO3??

Not sure mate.. Just haven't seen one make that yet..
Only one way to settle this..
Ed30 v's GTI battle @ Pod...
