Limits of the ED30 tuning

[gazbutmk5gti]

thats exactly what I was saying Ben, the downpipe and cat are 1 piece, the next part milltek call the connecting pipe, then you have the rear section resonated or non-res. I'm sure you need the downpipe and sports cat for stage 2

If  you are wanting to put more than 300bhp in the ED30 imo you need to look at the engine mounts being uprated, very least the dog bone.If you trackday, 1/4 mile then i would uprate the others too the best scenario adding a quaffe/pelq dif then i think you can handle the 330bhp.
Tuners can add silly amounts of bhp to their cars as they are advertising cars, parts cheap and when it goes wrong they can fix it at a better price than joe public could.They keep them for a while then sell them on.When the mk6 comes out the likes of regal, awesome will be first in the Q.

when the 2.0 tfsi first came out tuners advised no need to go upto 3" system the 2.75" was adequate enough. Now its the reverse.

yes i know i would be putting stock cat back on thats the point i am not convinced and would like to know what the change will be against Ben and Luca with stage 2 maps. its me being curious thats all as to if you do need the pipe or not and what is the differance in torque and bhp or does it only help when you have a fule pump done

I wouldn't advise putting a stage 2 map on your car mate without the DP and sports cat, really wouldn't..

Did you have the map and the exhaust at the same time?, cos if you didn't surely you would have noticed the difference when you put the exhaust on, or did you thinkin about it put the exhaust on first?

i think i am going to have a look with my mate who is a revo dealer and do a few logs of the car with dp and stage 2 and then stage 2 and stock dp as its defo worth a look.i had map done first and then i put exhaust on after and the car does feel  better/crisper/louder

I've always thought on my last 2 gti's and the S3 the downpipe/sports cat have made a difference, think I put it as its like takin the spud from up the exhaust

  true it was the same on my leon cupra r with high flow cat and dp done. i am going to get out with the car and do some vag com logs this week and see what its doing and then over the weekend change the dp and do some more logs i think as i am just interested but thats just how i am and have been working on cars for years so its no big thing.also i can put the car on a exhaust gas analizer just to see what the change there is

I admire your curiosity pal, them downpipes can be pain in the hole to change , there even worse on the 4wd cars cos the driveshafts in the way
