Title: Stage 2+ KO3 GTI VS stage 1 edition 30
Post by: Black9 on December 02, 2012, 09:47:49 pm
So the story go's I currently have a stage 1 edition 30 with,

Blue flame TBE
VWR ARBs F/R
VWR Lower engine/transmission mounts
VWR Spings (soon to be replaced with B12s)
WALK

It's a fully specked 5 door with DSG (love the DSG)

My other GTI is a stock engine KO3 car fully specked apart from DSG & has the following,

WALK
Eibach pro springs
New engine/transmission mount with insert
Rear lower arms polybushed
K&N filter And a few other bits

It's a 3 door tornado red car and is immaculate

Basically I've had the red gti up for sale for around 3/4 weeks now with no interest at all. Over the time I've owned it I've spent a small fortune and put a lot of time into it.

My edition 30 was bought as an impulse buy as I've always wanted one. It's a great car and is seriously fast compared to my red gti and I really enjoy using the DSG.

My dilemma is I don't want to sell my red gti for a big loss so I've been thinking of keeping it and selling the edition 30 as they're seems to be a better market for them...

Doubt i could go back to a stock motor so my choice would be stage 1 with TBE OR all out at stage 2+

How would the power compare to a stg1 ed30 & would it end up costing me a fortune to get to stg2+?

Stage 1 Eddy - 300ish bhp
Stage 2+ GTI - 280ish bhp

keep the Eddy. even if you don't go Stage 2+ it'll still be faster. the interior is nicer too imho

He said in the op that he can't shift the gti.

Is it advertised on here?

Yeah the ed30 will be way quicker down the 1/4 mile and all those times you race stuff past 100mph.

A 2+ ko3 imo in normal road/fast road conditions is just as quick as a ed30 would be in stage 1 dare I say even stage 2.

All in my experience and my opinion.
