    • @geegeebeebeefy
      @geegeebeebeefy Před 4 lety +4

      Datdon Dondat they’re mapping lots of TSI’s with great results - if you check out their Facebook page you’ll see the Golf R’s and S3 8V’s getting maps. They also map them safely to avoid over-stressing the IS38 turbos as they’re known to be a weak point when pushed too hard

    Nice project car with plenty of work on it. I have a 2008 ED30 DSG with stage 2+ ....380BHP, 495Nm, with 200.000Km on it. It won't depreciate anymore, regardless how many more "miles" I put extra on it.

      @hamzaahmed1280 Před 4 lety +1

      Lads you should make a video together, as now both of you have a mk5 gti, it’ll be great to see the difference, and if i’m not wrong you both have almost the same power as well, Hamza’s is 350 bhp auto and Calvin’s 365 bhp manual.

  • @andymacneil1936
    @andymacneil1936 Před 4 lety +17

    I just sold my 30 last Sunday and it’s a big regret. Some intercoolers are that big for these engines that the bumper ‘droops’ slightly which looks like could be your issue. Also the crash bar has to be trimmed to accommodate it depending on the brand. S3 intercoolers are common as they don’t heat soak as much as the original and a straight bolt on. I’d suggest changing your brakes to r32 or s3’s if you’re running extra power too!
    I’ve had two mk5 gtis and both times had the wings and one had the boot replaced. I had VW paint the whole edition 30 while they were at it and I contributed to the cost. You should be in good hands if it’s the original paint.
    Helix clutch and DMF is the preferred clutch for the manual as it’s relatively light and will handle a stage 2+ tune from r-tech which should see you around the 400ft/lbs.
    The Ko4 turbo in these engines are brilliant and can handle so much more power over stock.

      This ed30 did have a helix clutch kit fitted....I'm guessing the original clutch was put back in or an eBay special.
