Best first mods??
ED30Girl:
I've finally decided after having my Ed30 for a few months now and managing to save up some money i'm going to treat myself! :grin:
Obviously faster would would be better but as i'm only 21 i think i've got a pretty fast car for my age anyway! But shes just WAYYY too quiet in my opinion.
Rather than stressing myself over what to start with i thought i might aswell ask everyone else's advise and im hoping you'll help me :ashamed:, i'm already thinking of ordering a powervalve turbo back decat system ( maybe with smaller silencer ) and maybe an induction kit (can't decide which one ) and was thinking of leaving it as that and going for a stage 1 map at Rtech. I would LOVE more power but i really haven't got the money at the mo to be replacing/upgrading everything like fuel pump/brakes/clutch. But i obviously would if i needed to because i wouldn't want to cause any damage. All i'm after is a better sound and abit more power without going over the top and costing me how much! Please let me know if there's anything i should really think about doing aswell if i'm thinking of doing the above?
Thanks Guys :happy2:
Pesky jones:
in terms of remap you'll be fine at stage 1 with your existing hardware. Is it DSG?
Shoduchi:
The exhaust (downpipe) is the best mod you can do to these engines (the rest of the exhaust will make you want to boost the engine everywhere). An induction will make more noise (not needed for a stage 1), so try getting one in second hand and in good condition (Revo, EVOMS). :happy2:
Good luck!
Pesky jones:
Don’t mean to hijack the thread (although the info may benefit ED30 girl anyway) but if you were to get the remap stage 1 first, can you then fit an induction kit after?

I don't see any problem with that. The OEM airbox can do 330-340 HP with no problems. If you fit an induction kit later you'll just need a map tweak at the worst case scenario.
