may be a silly question BUT my rev counter shows the redline to be 6500rpm but mine goes to 7000rpm before hitting the limit?
i know from being an 18 year old (13 years ago!!!) driving chavtastic cars that the redline was increased slightly to get a little more power when mapping but is that the case with the ed30 golf?
i hope it hasn't got a stage one as i deff need more power :mad:
-
I thought stock was 6800?

Na it won't be mapped mate. I thought the same as Im young (22) and thought it was too quick for 230 bhp. But realised when I had her mapped that it's another car basically :happy2:
-
yeah you wouldnt feel you need more power if it was mapped unless youve had some pritty quick cars in the past?
