Title: My ed30 mods
Post by: JackG on October 02, 2011, 05:54:13 pm
Hi guys,
Just want to get some opinions on my eddie and it's mods

Currently it's only stage 1 at 301bhp with my twintake

I've just fitted a BCS hybrid system (turbo back with sports cat)

My plans!
Autotech HPFP internals
S3 intercooler with twintercooler....I work for VAG group so I can get the s3 one at cost and thought it can only be good!
Larger boost pipes (neuspeed)
Revo stage 2+ map
Revo DSG software

I would like around 370bhp  :popcornsoda:
What else can I add with out big turbo to make my power aim more achievable? What's the
RS4 fuel pressure regulator and will it help?
Any other suggestions would be great as I'd like to do it properly
Jack  :happy2:

To save me opening another thread...does anyone know what porsche brake upgrade brakes are bigger than standard? I know the boxer ones are the same size but I love the look of porka brakes but would like bigger brakes!

With a downpipe and decent inlet system on top of you list such as ITG or Twintake you should reach the figures you are after or there abouts & a very quick car!

Search the 'big red' porsche kit on here  :happy2:

You will probably need the rs4 fuel valve to avoid potential issues with the map and id be adding an uprated dv in there too be it oem revision or forge !
 
High flow discharge pipe may add abit too, id think youd get a genuine 360 bhp with those mods.

There is not to much else to squeeze out of it, with out getting silly and going big turbo. You need to start looking at going lighter now for the extra performance, whilst making it still drivable.  :happy2:

Are you on stock suspension?

You will be far better off budgeting for suspension and brakes in parallel.

Do you have parallel plans for suspension and brakes  :wink:

Don't have personal experience but have read about the BSH links 'clattering' and clunking

Neuspeed also make the droplinks might be worth seeing if you can find any posts or reviews, MATT ED30 used the neuspeed ones & I think he did a review  :happy2:
