320bhp MK5 Golf GTI Edition 30: The Car I Should've Bought!

[@mattparkin7224]

R32 bumper on an ED30 is a no from me. Much prefer the stock rear end of an edition 30 as it's unique to the 30s and the Pirellis

[@thetruthz13]

Plans...? •Air suspension •wrap Basically ruin it then, yeah? 😂

[@CarsWithSmithy]

Loving the MK5 Golf content 👍🏻 feel like that era of cars have been a bit overshadowed by the MK7 Golf R etc

[@johnrjlb4540]

My old car, do miss this old girl, purchased this of a German guy who only ever let Volkswagen work on it so full main dealer history, did a fair amount of work on this car myself, timing belt water pump and timing chain, wheel spacers, induction kit and exhaust and sold it to a friend who took it to 320bhp, one of the last edition 30’s built and what a car it was and looks like still is.

[@frantisekvesely3875]

stage2? I have one also, currently on stage 2 with 328 HP and 448 Nm torgue, thinking about reliabity, I will keep it on this stage 1 year and put it back to stock....

[@TechReviews2010]

The Edition 30 and Pirelli Edition are the Mark 5 models that are highly sought after having the better engine and bigger K04 turbo as standard.

Every mk5 gti owner after a short time ownership I should’ve got an edition 30

[@simonshotter8960]

VW nailed that dsg

[@chrisplatt827]

I can vouch for this car as I used to own it, glad to see it’s still looking good, was such a good car for me and the previous owner I bought it off. Take care of it tom 😊

[@beast12ism]

Surely this is just a standard stage 1 map with a filter.. thought the decat made it stage 2. In which case it would be 350-360bhp right..

[@gilesbiggin7741]

100% the car has a set of spacers fitted. I’d say 12 front and 15 rear.

[@brendan1048]

ooo there's the 'dsg isn't a drivers car' shout haha. I've just bought a cupra 280 dsg and its unreal, hands down beats the manual, and yes it's still a drivers car!

[@garns8878]

So many manual fanboys say this its laughable

[@Dayone92]

@Brendan yeah mate it’s proper Laughable all little gay fan boys shouting about how manual is better and they think there gods for driving them 😂 when in reality semi auto is the way foward less likely too breakdown much faster better on fuel and less stressful it’s a win win situation all these manual boys are just jealous they can’t afford the auto version cos there higher priced argh jealousy 😂

[@TheTechnoaddict]

Yes a dsg is faster but a lot easier. On a track doing heel toe while downshifting is so much more satisfiying. It's just what you like and each to their own. If you're all about lap times dsg is better, if you are about experience and feel for a car manual is better. Do like downshifting with a dsg and how fast it responds.

[@brendan1048]

For the record I have an S3 manual aswell, about 340bhp. I can drive it one handed, I need both hands on the wheel for the Cupra, granted it’s 370bhp but it is absolutely bonkers. First DSG and can safely say it is 100% a drivers car.

[@TheTechnoaddict]

@@brendan1048 the s3 is 4x4? I have a 300+hp fiesta and if you drive it with one hand you will be in the wall in no time. Friends 500hp golf r dsg is so easy to drive on track while mine is a battle😊 the r is obviously faster. Both have their advantages. Mine doesn't cost a fortune if the gearbox blows😉

[@carllynch8798]

It’s like my B5 RS4 not many people know how quick they are as it’s a 20 year old Audi estate tuned with 496hp and 702nm torque. Also handling mods too

[@petertinkler5134]

The Revo induction kit is the preferred option for the TFSI engine rather than the Ramair. Also on this car if it has an uprated fuel pump and a full BCS this car should be at stage 2+. With the K04 turbo the power output should be higher.

[@jermainerobinson7098]

I love the golf GTI Mk5. Are we just marketing lead with the addition 30? Also the 200 - 230 BHP is enough for a car that is front wheel drive Of a certain age It’s like Jeremy Clarkson said you can have a Thousand horsepower in a car but if you can’t lay down there’s no point and l have to agree as you can see in the video he’s struggling to lay it down and that take the fun out of the car. Keep it stranded less headaches also l love a DSG gear as much as a manual it’s down to the individual don’t let anyone tell you what’s best 👍🏾😎

[@shaunheaney4754]

Totally agree, I own a edition30, that car has spacers fitted %100’

[@cuprak1lad543]

You don't need hpfp for stage 2, owner doesn't have a clue

[@jsiingh]

Yes, also R8 coilpacks aren't a necessity. Speaking as an owner of a stage 2+ edition 30.

[@gazzaswayne2650]

It's all down to traction so get a proper remap done. Pops and bangs lose power too

[@MegaHollywood1971]

It still performs like it's 230PS - the air may be adding some response but it's not 330bhp.

[@Beardchanics]

Great edition of the mk5 gti!

[@LucianoDelPinto]

Im planning on selling mine not happy but times have moved on so just getting a few scratches sorted

[@Honky_Konky_Phooey]

Once DSG is mapped ( TVS) in manual mode you can drive it the same as a manual but with the added bonus of keeping both hands on the wheel. Lovely looking car 🚙 👌

[@jthd7324]

How is it only doing 320 at stage 2? U can get a ed30 to 310 with just a stage 1 map

[@MH-ro1ix]

Might of capped it if the clutch is weak

[@TechReviews2010]

If DSG it would have more HP.@@MH-ro1ix

[@HeadshotUan]

Get a second hand k04 kit or something like the bbt360 along with 2+ mods and some other bits. The BWA engine can safely handle roughly 350 bhp and 350 ft lb, and most likely will still be cheaper than an edition 30 also more content for the channel.

[@frantisekvesely3875]

@VAGabond DQ250 can hold this without issues, but DMF ye... I have OEM DMF as backup for my stage2, because I expecting failure of it, as I consider it as weak point. for your information edtion 30 has K04 in place already ;)

Love these Edition 30's. Time to get an Edition 40 on the channel : )

[@maverick4177]

Are they really worth 3-4 grand more than a nice spec Gti though? I don’t think so

[@Danial0152]

the ED30 were affordable back in 2017-2018 at around 4-5K for a good one but now a decent one isn't worth 4K more because the same mods and turbo plus mapping can be done to the regular MK5 GTI cheaper including buying one

[@bendude6748]

depends how you look at it, they are if you want the rarer car that's going up in value.

[@user-fu9or4uk7t]

I changed hardware to match an stage 2+ edition 30 and easily cost me 5K to do it! Stock turbos max out at 290ish. These can hit 380 easily so worth the extra money for tuneability.

[@tracktimevideos5164]

If you want 320bhp+ then yes it's worth starting with the bigger turbo'd car. If you are happy with 260bhp then the standard car will do.

[@user-fu9or4uk7t]

@@tracktimevideos5164 yeah nothing wrong with the K03, way less laggy and more punchy. But do gas out about 6k and very noticeable
