Golf GTI Edition 35 : standard boost levels

took the car out for a run, and logged some values

 Group 115 - Field 3 Boost Pressure - (actual) mbar peaked at 1900
 (the value at idle was 1030, which is current atmospheric pressure)

 So thats 1900 - 1030 = 870mBar = 12.6 psi actual boost pressure.

Seem about right as this is still just a modified Edition 30 engine.

Its been a long time since Ive been in an standard car, but the edition 35 seems to pull well and is definitely more enthusiastic pulling in the higher rpms than a stock Edition 30 ever was.
This is mapping related , as i know the Edition 30 remap definitely adds that back in from stock, and one of the big things to notice (above a whollop of increase in boost) , as you gain pleasure taking the car to the upper revs as it feels 'keen'

Coupled to an increased rev limit, thats what makes a remapped Edition 30 feel so much quicker than stock

 I have to say for a standard car (having had a remapped ED30 before) it feels pretty darn quick. (some of which is the feeling of speed the DSG gives over manual gearbox)
