have standard GTI Ed30 thinking of mods?

(1/7) > >>

vik2001:
I have a totally standard Ed30, 31k mileage and excellent condition.
Im thinking of doing some minor mods in terms of performance but dont want to go over board.   What can i do?

I was thinking of getting a Forge twintake.   Now if i do this will anything else have to be done along side this?  Also is Forge the best choice for the Ed30?
Also how will doing the above affect servicing?  do filters need to be changed or cleaned on twintake, will VW do this or not touch it?

If i was to get a Revo stage 1 should i do it after the forge twintake or before its fitted?

Also my Ed30 is 2007 model, im concerned about the DV should this be checked/replaced before the twintake is installed..


thanks

An aftermarket air intake on its own isn't going to add much performance so you best consider a remap and a performance high-flow exhaust and then all three mods will give you gains.

But beware that modding is a very slippery slope!

vik2001:
ok thanks

can you give some suggestion RR on what you said, which remap/exhause etc for my Ed30?

gigolo456:
R Tech remap
BCS exhaust
Air Intake (take yr pick!?)
Id suggest however to have DV checked for tears!
Slippery slope as RR said! ;-)

Hi Vik.

As Robin said all three would certainly be noticeable, Revo or APR or GIAC or Bluefin etc are good for remaps. Milltek are pretty good for exhausts, Forge, VW Racing or ITG are all good intakes.

Use the search function on here or check out peoples cars on the 'members rides' section and you'll see what approach people take.

Ultimately it's up to you and what you prefer looks wise and price/budget.

Stage 1 remap with a turbo-back exhaust system plus an intake will definitely get you grinning!  :evilgrin:

Andy.
