Datdon Dondat they’re mapping lots of TSI’s with great results - if you check out their Facebook page you’ll see the Golf R’s and S3 8V’s getting maps. They also map them safely to avoid over-stressing the IS38 turbos as they’re known to be a weak point when pushed too hard

How much you think they are gonna be selling for mid 2020?
As always Calvin, great video - I look forward to seeing what progress you make with the car.
Yesss!!! Currently restoring the eddy I bought 306hp in tornado red, so looking forward to see what you do to the can and I’m glad you’re saving it and not sending it to scrapyard heaven like a lot of the others out there
“It’s all just a bit of a bloody mess”😀
I’ve put 70k miles (now on 106k) on my eddy and it’s never asked me for anything. Look forward to content on this
I just sold my 30 last Sunday and it’s a big regret. Some intercoolers are that big for these engines that the bumper ‘droops’ slightly which looks like could be your issue. Also the crash bar has to be trimmed to accommodate it depending on the brand. S3 intercoolers are common as they don’t heat soak as much as the original and a straight bolt on. I’d suggest changing your brakes to r32 or s3’s if you’re running extra power too! I’ve had two mk5 gtis and both times had the wings and one had the boot replaced. I had VW paint the whole edition 30 while they were at it and I contributed to the cost. You should be in good hands if it’s the original paint. Helix clutch and DMF is the preferred clutch for the manual as it’s relatively light and will handle a stage 2+ tune from r-tech which should see you around the 400ft/lbs. The Ko4 turbo in these engines are brilliant and can handle so much more power over stock.

Nice project car with plenty of work on it. I have a 2008 ED30 DSG with stage 2+ ....380BHP, 495Nm, with 200.000Km on it. It won't depreciate anymore, regardless how many more "miles" I put extra on it.
Can’t wait to see this car put back to its former glory 👌

Was looking into one of these but ended up having a Cupra R . Can't wait to get some mods onit . 👌
Delighted to see one of these on the channel. One of the best cars I own, I had a 25th Anniversary as well, gutted I ever sold it to be honest. Sad to see an ED30 in such a poor state, but looking forward to watching you bring it back to life, they’re an awesome car when they’re in full health
Frikin sick cars ! Can’t wait to see more vids on this !!
Loving your videos Calvin, great quality as usual, my heart sank for you when your coffee tipped 😁
got a 360bhp ed30 myself currently having some work done, looking forward to getting it back even more now after this pal
Great watch, I bought an immaculate standard ED30 in candy white/ 3 door just over a year ago for a small fortune. I sold it within weeks, it just wasn't for me. None the less a cracking looking car and certainly turned heads!
I've had a couple of these in the past, such good cars!
The best video you've done in a long while and I love new change in direction.
Can't wait to see what you do with this Hopefully fix all the bodywork issues and fit all the right parts back on it as some of them are so wrong I have a standard silver one which I love
3 Doors Candy White Edition 30 with Xenon and Manual gearbox is my favorite fwd car ☺
It actually sounds great, what setup does it have?
Looking forward to the project 😄😃

I love my ed 30. Bit crap in the wet but engines are great and strong. I got the manual also and prefer it to a mk5 r32 dsg I tried. I got a pearl black 5 dr but the white looks sweet.
RTECH are legends in the tuning game for VAGs
Great vid Mr Diary 📔... Looking forward to the updates
Be interesting to see how you get on with this one. Gotta be honest it looks like a wrongun but hopefully it scrubs alright and turns a profit
Running 360+ bhp so upgraded clutch right? Is it a heavy clutch?
Great video Calvin!! I’ve got a stock Pirelli edition, bought a month ago & getting clutch done on Tuesday lol. Glad yours has an R-Tech map - they are the gurus!

Gonna get everything mechanically sound first (clutch, clean oil pick up pipe, timing belt etc) then probably stage 1 R-Tech - not gonna go stage 2 as it’s my daily
Love them golfs hope u get the audi sorted will you start doing hot hatches from the 90,s, 205 gti,mk1 golf,r5 turbo,astra gsi,s,cavvy Sri,nova gte,rs turbo escort all proper cars a think subscribers will like them.you could do like an old school classic series
Keep this Calvin make a series out of it bud x
Looking forward to seeing what you do with it Calvin cheap for 3k
What camera do you use bud to film yourself??
I took mine apart - got it back to concourse condition, so much fun - it’s probably f****d now but back then I loved it and still miss it
My favourite the Edition 30 Got a video on my channel running mine of the clock on a private road 🤦🏽♂️💥
What clutch you going for Calvin?
I love the MK5 Edition 30's..and MK4 Anni's/MK6 ED:35's etc....mint. This particular ones had a beating by the looks of it..however its not too high the mileage..131k aint that much for a German engine. It just needs some interior/exterior tarting up and a new clutch..probably a stage 2 sachs..and put a powerflow straight-through exhaust on it....
What exhaust is on it? Sounds decent
I'm beginning to see a lot of these lately on the road. Must be getting cheap or more known
Those new CCD coffee air freshners are the business,couple of different one’s to choose from like “flat white” “frappuccino” or even the classic aroma of starbucks...... never getting rid of that aroma pal 🤣
Nice vid calv hope u doing good bro
Don't you need headlamp washers if you fit xexons?
Few weeks,couple of months-LoL Calvin which is it? you geezer 😂
Not problem Calvin as you well know it. Its a decent one of the best sold/common cars. Its a buy it with your brain not your heart sort of car....sort of the thing when I bought scoobys instead of evos back in the day. Good buy... would defo try to make it looking stock at least
i had a golf mk5 gt tsi 170 bhp loved it gonna get another one soon
Fantastic cars in my opinion, get a lot for the your money with them

Bro that is my dream car man! 😭Edition 30 but With a DSG (Automatic license only) wow if you did a give away with that and I won, I’d sell mine with yours and get a low mileage dsg edition 30 and baby it for ever! I really want that car! Such a shame it’s manual 😭 man, hats off to you lad
Enjoyed this one calv. 👌
Gutted I didn’t win the golf Calvin ! I Think you should a load more raffles! It’s a win win for everyone 😎

Gotta love an eddy. Keep the content coming bro
Great vid, dont be getting on anymore motorways with inadequate fuel ⛽️
The headlights Calvin are a factory upgrade. Not later or aftermarket👍
If you know the clutch is slipping why apply more load on a motorway?

Someone read the article in Modern Classics ;) lovely motor...
what a surprise Calvin's bought another broken vw 🙈🤣
My 59plate Octy VRS is on 168k at the mo... but a diesel! Also got some rust issues on the sills and boot, however Skoda wouldn't entertain a warranty claim the turds!
I must have been lucky with. Mine, not a spot of rust!!

Looks like it’s been in a smash at some point at the front. The bumper isn’t sitting straight.
I wouldn't say high miles for it's age.

What happend with Rs6 ?
so crazy, in Australia, fuel at 98RON is everywhere. You can even get 104.
Scrap it and buy a carry-out 🤪

Buy a GTC VXR for a project! 276bhp with LSD as standard 👌
R tech are the best with these engines
Ed30s are serious cars out of the box, reliable and quick nevermind tuning capabilities, a monkey could drive these hard they handle so well😎
