Not sure if it's been mapped already as it does pull really well. Car is standard apart from head unit.

Nice example!
You can tell if it's mapped or not if you can find someone local with VCDS. My stage 2+ ED30 keeps up with 335 diesels and petrols easily enough. Not sure if they were mapped or not though!

Thanks.
Mate has VCD's I'll ask him to to have a look.

Just purchased a Ram Air oversized intake kit.
Only £154 on Amazon. Done a load of reading on this, way more expensive ones available but cannot find anything bad to say against.
Slight loss of torque lower down but slightly better higher up the rev range apparently.
After a little more noise & for the money worth a punt & will go with an exhaust when I get to that then remap.
When fitting I'll take a look at the PCV to see if it's the latest revision if not I'll be ordering the latest version along with a new GFB DV +.
Millers NANODRIVE CFS 5w-40 NT+ Full Synthetic Engine Oil to be ordered soon with oil filter.

Welcome along buddy.
For the money I'm sure you'll discover what a capable car the Ed30 is.
Sound choice on the RamAir. I had the Evoms and it was too darth Vader for me. The RamAir has a bit of that induction noise but more subtle and the price is very reasonable compared to other kits (suppose there might be some performance gain difference).
What's next on your list? 😆 It never stops...

Cheers Chigmuss.
The list is long & is getting longer the more involved I get within the VAG scene!
I've just received oil & oil filter so will be doing that soon.
I guess next on the list is rear spacers, going for 12mm & hopefully LED interior, number plate & puddle lights.
I'll check PCV when I do intake, upgrade DV. Then save up for other bits;
Suspension & bushes refresh as the mileage is 98k.
Exhaust, want a BCS power valve but big money.
Upgrade brakes
Depo projector headlights, only thing not having Xenon was only doubt about the car when looking to buy. Get H7 LED but being careful not to be too bright as I don't want the HID xenon thing. Think the MOT law is changing for these as well.
Remap!
Etc....
