Is the edition 30 engine the most tuneable

(1/5) > >>

Madone:

General question really, I am really impressed with what can be extracted from the edition 30 engine, 370bhp ish for relatively little outlay, no new injectors or turbo etc. A real tuning goldmine.  Are any of the MK7 engines tuneable in the same way for example ?, can the R make 400 with bolt ons ?. I can't think of another car in any brand where you can achieve such massive tuning gains as the Ed lump 220-370 !  :jumpmove:

I'd guess you'd need a bigger turbo to break 400 on the mk7, but as for reaching 400, Revo seem to think so:

There's probably much more to choose from with bolt ons and software with the TFSI ed30. It's  a bit more of a known quantity.

I know some TSI cars, mk6 on, had cam chain problems. Maybe a consideration.

Buying a clean ed30 and taking it to 370bhp would be miiiiiles cheaper than doing it with a mk7 R!!!

Madone:
Hmmm, hope my edition 30 last for many years to come then !  :laugh:

AJP:
You're in the right car mate

The s3 engine CDL is slightly better for tuning than the ed30 BYD. Not much in it though.
