VW Edition 30 DSG - Tuning

(1/3) > >>

mackit:
Hi to all.  Purchased an 08 VW Edition 30 DSG last month.  Loving the car so far.  :happy2:

I've looked into tuning the car.  I've moved from a Mini JCW and am staggered at the VWs ability to soak up the power.

So far i've looked at Superchips (Bluefin) and Revo.  The Bluefin looks quite appealing as i can switch between standard and the uprated remap.  I appreciate you can do this with Revo but it is extra money.

My understanding is the the DSG gearbox is limited, software limited, to 350nm and i believe all remaps go beyond this figure.  Do these tuning companies limit the torque increase to 350NM on DSG cars?

Also, i'm not too familiar with the exhaust system on the edition 30.  Is it in anyway uprated from a standard GTi?  If so, is it worth upgrading to a Milltek cat back exhaust or would it only be worthwhile upgrading to say a Milltek sports cat to see any improvement?

Hope you can help.

Welcome to the forum!

You're right, you can do the same with Revo, but it will cost more money to pay for the Select Switch. A few people have been selling them on here for cheap prices lately, soyou may be able to pick up a good deal. Mine will be for sale in a few months also.

There are people here and in the US who are running silly torque figures through a DSG box. Service it well and regularly and you shouldn't have a problem - I think that's the general consensus.

No differences between the exhaust system on the ED30 and the GTI, although what you've probably already seen is that exhaust manufacturers tend to offer larger diameter downpipes (3") for the ED30 than the GTI. Most people on here buy just a catback system or both a cat-back and a downpipe (which normally includes a 200cell sports cat). If you want to see improvements in power then go for both.
