Dave Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 well thinking of selling the n/a supe next year for a tt.but i have this dilemma my car is mint except for a sagging bolster on the drivers seat it s unmarked its only done 48k miles and the engine is sweet as a nut .underneath is like new, even the mot guy said how good it was .its only cost me a set of rear pads and tyres and service items in two years of ownership. so do I 1.sell it for 4.5-5.5k if im lucky and then spend 8-9k on a tt or 2. have a turbo conversion by turbofit for 4.5 k either way its gonna cost me another 5k to get what i want.

JamieP Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Have you been in a turbofit NA-t yet? if not get a ride... you will love them plus you have peace of mind with the years warrenty that you wont get with a secondhand TT:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Depends how much you love your NA. One reason I swapped to a TT was I was also getting ABS, airbags, LSD, Bilsteins, bigger brakes and a few other things. Yours may already have some of this. Insurance and resale value is a consideration too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvershark44 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 8-9k would get you a good tt infact if your carefull 5-6k will get you a good tt and you can spend the rest on modifying the way you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 If you love your car and if you dont think you'll find another that good condition then turbo it, whats the spec of the tubo fit one? is it going to produce near to a bpu tt? or more?

Tom Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Oh another thing check out the sound of Gazza GSI's NA-T, it's the first sound you hear on my "japshow vid" in my sig, it's in the vid somwhere too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 If you love your car and if you dont think you'll find another that good condition then turbo it, Actually, that is a very good consideration - you KNOW you're car, whereas buying a TT is buying into the unknown.

Mas Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I would say go for fitting a turbo in your NA as you said you like the car and its clean, BUT , I always prefered the TT stock to single conversion, although a single Sup will kill a stock TT, but still its the TT for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 But as Pete said, resale value is a consideration. I would say that at some point in the future it would be easier to sell a TT than an NA-T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
