Hey all

Not long joined looking to by a GTi int he next couple of months plan to mod, 360bhp sounds nice, just sold my two cars had a dedicated Trackcar and a cheap daily runner, droping back too one car to do both and something newer.

Will be nice to meet some of you guys and your motors.

Welcome along, if you want 360bhp, it has to be the edition 30/pirelli to get near your bhp wish's.Unless you have about 6-7 grand extra in your pack pocket to get it with the standard GTi!
Lots of people on here will help you spend your money ,you can be assured :happy2:

Good luck in your search

Was thinking the same Phil... even 360bhp from ED30/Pirelli is a good chunk to get...


All the best searching for the right car for you :happy2:

Nice one thanks lads, a few Q's

Whats the difference between a Ed30 and a normal Gti?? just  the turbo (k03 and k04) or other things??

Can you fit Xenons to car that came with out them from the factory or are they missing parts of the loom??

Thanks

Hi Sie.  :happy2:

There are quite a few differences between the ED30 and GTI mostly styling ones though, after you get out from under the bonnet.  :smiley:
And it is possible to retro-fit xenon's, but the full kit is expensive and difficult to install. Saying that even just buying the units and getting the Kuftec loom aint cheap.  :happy2:

Thanks guys

Had a quick search on here and found out alot more involved than just turbo being difference, So what is the most people get from the Gti's with TBE, EVoms, Larger FMIC and Revo Stage 2+??

Pleanty out there but if i want 360 and need a Ed30 for that then i have got to save some more pennies, lol.

From memory and from differences on different rolling roads. i would say around a max of 270 on the std GTi, without then having endless pockets tbh.
Same rate of tune on an Edition 30 will see you near 320-330bhp.

Start saving  :wink:
