Title: My edition 30
Post by: Jay_ed30 on August 25, 2015, 09:58:09 pm: So I have had my ed30 since March, I believe it is a previous members car as it has the site stickers in the rear quarter glass. As soon as I got it it went straight for a full service with belt and water pump. Not done too much to it yet with getting married recently but got plans for it. So far I have fitted a ramair oversize induction kit, changed front and rear vw badges for black one, grill and boot gti badges for red ones and just generally cleaned it up and enjoyed it. Recently removed all inner arches to clean them out and tetraseal them ready for winter and repainted calipers until I buy s3 fronts. The wheels are also in for refurb next month

Picture quality isn't great, I've screwed my rear plate on as I have lost plates before when using sticky pads ect

I got a shortened front plate but not fitted yet as I don't know if to buy a smooth grill or just get the original wrapped to cover the holes from the horrid original plate fitting
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F09%2F06%2F588ef8a32c3cdc07b1ab6ae81a383dc1.jpg&hash=3ba6a74c74f7aea8478c908dd84f9c8bd41d4d85)

Also when I got back to my car at edition 38 somebody had scuffed the front bumper on my car. I'm suprised some cars weren't crashed into as there was a few chavs in some Jap crap cars trying to drift in the middle of the car park while we were walking bank.

Post by: Jay_ed30 on September 08, 2015, 11:10:49 am: So a few things happening today, picked up new pcv for my car after vw gave me a revision p valve last week which made the car run badly so has been changed for the revision r. I have just fitted it and my engine starts a lot more smoothly and idles better than ever, not had chance to take it for a run yet though.

I've also made a start on smoothing my grill ready for it to be wrapped tomorrow. Still not sure if to have gloss black or carbon

I had mine wrapped in carbon fibre when I bought it but I took it off. Looks miles better as standard, IMHO.
Title: Re: My edition 30

You know that you can only really check the difference doing tests on a rolling road or a track. The IC will be less effective cooling the air from the turbo, so the engine will produce less power, specially after some heat soak has happened. Not having anything blocking the airflow to the IC will avoid that heat soak. There are tests made by APR confirming this. :wink:

I looked at the glass ones but there expensive for what they are. The one I got is plastic and screws on from the inside and has abit of silicone on it to seal. I might get a glass one as they are more of a flush fit. You got a link for the one you got?

The glass one I got was crap wouldn't recommend it mate.
I thought glass would be great would match the window but tbh where the wiper hole is it's virtually black anyway so the glass looked out of place because you could see straight through it! Unless others are really dark tinted glass? I'm not sure.

I'll try find the link to the one I've fitted and I'm happy with. It's plastic but flush fit and you don't even notice it :)

Replaced it with a 2008 325d msport auto fully loaded. There's a few things I miss about the golf but the low end tourque from the 3.0 6 cylinder is great and it handles really well.
