Title: Advice on mods
Post by: craigy123 on May 11, 2010, 08:33:28 pm
Well.....I pick up my edition 30 on Sunday, currently sitting at 315-330 bhp with a giac remap, filter and Remus back box. I've been looking at a full blueflame system with downpipe and cat. Will I need to do anything else, eg HPFP?
Cheers Craig

I would think its sitting at around the 300bhp mark tbh with your mods.

As for hpfp depends how far you wanna go really stage 2+? (or gaic equivelent)

If so full blueflame tbe, hpfp, intake - gaic extreme+ needs 3"VF intake just so you know and an IC should see you to around 345-360ish :happy2:

Great value for money.  Like sy said there are lots on the market but can be £700+ such as the APR...

If your not (Yet! You'll Soon be bitten by the bug!  :laugh:) chasing big power the S3 will be great.

Jabbasport are using the S3 on thier Edition30 and is highly tuned  :happy2:

i may have one for sale in the next week or so mate but you would need new hoses to suit the ed30 as mine is currently on a cupra

Just a wee point here mate !

Giac recommend a HPFP with the map, exhaust and intake. I was going to fit my intake last weekend and was told not too until i purchased a HPFP, the reason being is the giac settings cant be adjusted to suit the exhaust and intake so when you add these the engine requires more fuel which the OEM pump cant deliver in the mid range thus resulting in fuel cuts in the mid range, which is bad for the engine.

so if you are going for the intake and exhaust with the giac map, it would be best to get the HPFP too :smiley:
