Probably the most important bit for most is the tunability of the edition 30  :evilgrin:

As above

+ darkened rear light lenses as standard

the 18" Pescaras are standard too (whereas on the normal GTi 17" Monzas are standard)

never been quite sure about the exhaust - is it slightly bigger bore on the ED 30 ??

No exhaust is the same.. i have read that in another post.

Thanks to all for your response.

You mention the bigger turbo, can this be installed on the STd GTI with a remap ?

Also, Why is the 'tunability' better for the ED30 ?

Can someone please post pictures of the darkend rear lights, side stripes, front and rear bumper, so i can compare to mine.

thanks,

Z

The tuneability of the ED30 is better as it is already a basically de-tuned S3 engine (slightly different compression ratio though). The S3 engine already develops 261bhp as stock. 

A standard GTI produces (officially) 197bhp and with mods you can see around 265bhp max - so about 68bhp increase
A standard ED30 (officially) produces 227bhp and with the same mods will see up to around 330bhp - so about 103bhp increase.
Golf R gone.

Thought the edition 30 had a 3" downpipe ?, I'm sure some smart arse will be along to prove me wrong though  :P

Same exhaust, i have both the gti and ed30 at home, and they are exactly the same.  :happy2:

Not getting this;

If the edition30 engine is identical to the GTi apart from the turbo, surley the GTi has the same tunability once you install the bigger turbo ?

Right ???

and miltek do a 3" and 2.5" DP but what is the dia of the oem unit ?
