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 ???
and miltek do a 3" and 2.5" DP but what is the dia of the oem unit ?

Not quite true. Whilst the Ed30 and S3 share the same uprated block and rods, the S3 has much stronger pistons, and more agressive cams - and it is the S3s pistons which are key to it being tunable to 400+ bhp

What are differences in duration on the cams?
Cams on an normally aspirated car usually give the output higher up and give a slightly higher output. Didn't think they made a huge difference generally on turbo cars.
I used to run split duration 276/268 Schricks on my old valver then went to 304 schricks. The power is shifted and increased but you don't get 20-30 bhp increases.

I stand corrected then :happy2:
I'll never be to old to learn new things :wink:

A slight bump to the thread but I found this link quite useful when comparing the different engines: http://www.my-gti.com/546/differences-between-vw-golf-edition-30-vw-golf-pirelli-audi-s3-and-seat-leon-cupra-r-engines
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
From a manufacturing point of view it just makes you wonder why they would change the gudgeon pin for one GTi engine and not the other, I mean what must be the cost implications - pennies. It does make you wonder whether VW are building these things with longevityy in mind or aftermarket tuners!
