I can understand why you'd want a good idea of the main mechanical differences if you intend to tune, but whether the mats have got red stiching or not :confused:
A few weeks ago I was looking at the differences - but because I want to tune, So I sold my Gti and bought an ED30. Didn't cost the earth to upgrade and now I have a more insurance friendly route to big power. A new exhuast and a remap sounds better than ''I've changed loads of stuff on my car, including fitting a bigger turbo, to mimik an Ed30''. My insurance Co charged me no extra to trade up to the ED30 either (well £1.05 admin charge :grin:)

Thanks, I can see where your coming from, but if you don't have anything constructive to say why bother hi-jacking someone's thread.
Don't want to change my GTi... happy with her the way she is, just want to know the exact differences between the two models..

If the edition30 engine is identical to the GTi apart from the turbo, surley the GTi has the same tunability once you install the bigger turbo ?
Right ???

That ain't no hi-jack.
This is a hi-jack!
Speaking of hijacks, did anyone else hear about that missing plane?
An Air France plane was supposed to be returning to France. Went missing.
Some people think it's a hijack.
