hello everyone, i'm new and i need some advice. i'm the first to admitt that i no f**k all about VW's, so that why i've come to you "experts"!!! does anyone no about the above vehicle?? i've seen it for sale and i've yaken quite a shine to it. however i really don't want to buy it and drive it away only for the head to crack or something!!!! basically here are a few details.... 110k miles, leather interior, new replacement turbo, g60 arches, vr6 discs, alloys, lowered etc etc. could possibly get it for 3500-3750 over the top or bargain?? are these prone to getting thrashed, as i would have thought fitting a turbo to the 16V golf gti would really over strain it, as the 16V already gives it a higher rev, so combine that with a turbo and you're bound to have problems aren't you??? any ideas??? would you guys consider buying it or is it a dog???? whoever read this far deserves a gold medal for stamina!!! cheers
i spose the price is ok if its super nice n mint, id imagine most of em have had a good thrash ,but parts are avail to rebuild em . the ex manifold is the rare bit...the rest of the turbo can be had easily
is it the one off e-bay? the 16v takes well to a turbo conversion and if its been looked after wether its been thrashed or not should be fine.take someone with you to view it who knows about turbo motors.i own a stealth built 16vt which i've owned for almost 2 yrs now and i would'nt be without it. the price sounds good if the cars right,i paid abit more for mine.if you need anymore info pm me.or do a search on here,the 16vt has been discussed a few times. cheers Neil.
