difference in components between ed30 and GTI
Bodge:
Hella all.
Im about to buy a mk5 gti
Im not sure if its worth spending the extra money for a ed30. obviously I want one for the extra 30bhp. the 300bhp chip and the larger ko4 turbo. but there about £4000 more (and i can't find a white one).. im not to bothered about the seats, badges and body kit although they would be nice.
What parts are different with the ED30? is it just a bigger turbo or are there more components are different.
Im thinking about buying a standard GTI but only if i can build it to the same spec as a ED30
Thanks for any help

If your looking for tuning potential then yes the ED30 is worth the extra IMHO.
It's more than just a bigger turbo, it has stronger internals as well. However just about everything else inc brakes, suspension and the intercooler are the same as the base GTI.
There is also the bodywork stuff like the front splitter, different rear bumper and colour coding to add plus the half leather seats and red stitching :happy2:
Greeners:
This may help also! :happy2:

theres one hell of a surcharge for the Ed30 IMO.
however when you consider to take a GTI upto 280Hp you would require an exhaust/intake/ intercooler/ discharge pipes/HPFP and stage 2 + remap (probably >£3000)
where as you could surpass that power in an Ed30 for only a £500 remap. SO in terms of tuning, youare saving yourself £2500. That doesnt mean anything though, becuase you will then go stage2 etc. basically your p!ssing in the wind either way :grin:

yeah man i understand where your coming from. Its 5k more for a white ED30 over a GTI though
is another possible route to fit a K04 turbo and stage one revo GTI remap to the GTI. second hand turbo £450. map £500 = 300bhp... possibly?
How much power can the standard GTi engine take reliably??
