Post by: danishmkvgti on April 03, 2009, 10:53:58 pm: It's not quite what i was hoping for. I'm about to do a ed30/K04 rebuild on my standard gti, and the plastic tube going from the filter down to the turbo is different for the ed30 and the s3. The third hole for the hose from te dv relocation is positioned in different places and looks different. From my understanding is the dv located on the side of the engine on the ed30 and in front on the s3 :surprised:

Post by: danishmkvgti on April 17, 2009, 07:26:28 am: Hi, I solved it myself, the dv relocation for the ED30 is sitting on the resonance tube just prior to the firewall on the (in england) drivers side of the car. :jumping:

The ED30 DV is located at the front of the engine. The normal GTi has the DV located at the back of the engine. :smiley:

So i ended up with both a S3 and ED 30 DV relocation solution for my K04 build :jumping:
Title: Re: ED. 30 DV location
Post by: danishmkvgti on April 18, 2009, 08:40:26 pm: My conclusion ended up being, the S3 is in front because it hasn't got the "GTI sound" resonationtube, and the ED30 solution is the easiest while keeping the res. tube. The S3 is mounted where the GTI is situated on the plastic tube comming from IC going to inlet manifold

Post by: SteveS on April 22, 2009, 04:14:38 pm: completly different to mine!
Title: Re: ED. 30 DV location
Post by: danishmkvgti on April 22, 2009, 09:50:36 pm: so you don't have the gti sound tube that goes into the cabine?
Title: Re: ED. 30 DV location
Post by: Shaun on April 22, 2009, 10:00:01 pm: I understood that this was only fitted to US-spec models.

Post by: SteveS on April 22, 2009, 11:08:54 pm: gti sound tube? :rolleye:
Title: Re: ED. 30 DV location
Post by: BeezerDiesel on April 23, 2009, 05:06:20 am: The sound tube is only fitted to left hand drive cars. From memory I think it has something to do with lack of room when they fitted the right hand drive steering rack and associated bits.
