Ian W Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 how about giving us a link to the advertisement mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 well important things to find out are what the upgrade involved and how much power it is running btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 NAt I'd pay £6k for tops..... depending on it being a manual 5 speed, good condition, full history, low mileage, low conversion miles and a high quality job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 that sounds a bit low to me mate. i'd have thought a top job with full history in manual (depending on year and mileage) would fetch over £7k. we need that link though I'm suprised with this 6k price, I would thought it will be same valuation like TT converted to small single at least! Of course all depends, how powerfull car is and exactly what was done (pistons, HG, fuel injectors etc). There is too many ??? to make proper valuation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course all depends, how powerfull car is and exactly what was done (pistons, HG, fuel injectors etc). There is too many ??? to make proper valuation not quite, as you have to take into account that it was an n/a in the first place and as such there are no doubt additional risks in running a single on it and also the extra insurance costs etc. that said, £6k is a little low imo.

RobSheffield Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I would thought it will be same valuation like TT converted to small single at least! Unlikely NA>T circa 400 BHP (unless engine mods have been made) TT>small single circa 500bhp, and potential to go further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Also which company did the conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 If you tried to trade it in it's worth less than a stock N/A. If you tried to sell it privately it's probably worth about 4K. You can buy a lovely J-Spec TT auto for under 5K these days, a lot less in the trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 £6k is a little low imo. Going by the fact that NA's are going for sub £2K now, good ones for £4K and exceptional ones for just over £5K. TT's are not falling in value so fast, but my lovely example isn't worth me selling..... about £6.5K max and that's for BPU++. So personally even a good NAt would be only £6K to me. Just my personal opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Going by the fact that NA's are going for sub £2K now, good ones for £4K and exceptional ones for just over £5K. Where have you seen n/a's for under 2k? there's one at just under 3k on autotrader, the rest are £3,700 + 6k for an n/a-t sounds very good vfm to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 There was a guy who posted up as a newbie this week, who claims he paid £1750.00... I would imagine that is the exception rather than the rule.!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cacorat Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 the work was done by turbo fit UK. It has had everything mapped and upgraded properly. Its running at 394bhp on the wheels (with dyno) millage is in the 50k's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cacorat Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 this one then? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/136875.htm thats the one...so what do you guys think? any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 The owner of that car is/was a member on here actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well turbofit seem to have a great reputation on here so I would trust that the car has been looked after and has had a nice turbo install, personally I think the owner has gone ott with the interior and painting everything red but of course you can change that if you wanted to. If the car is making near 400bhp and is up for £6800 that's not a bad price as you would need another 2-3k to get a bpu manual tt, but the thing is you could find an auto bpu tt for not much more than 7k, so I don't know, I probably would go with an auto tt, unless this car tick's all your boxes? I'd imagine though that this would be near to twice as much to insure than the tt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well the body kit is loud and the interior is like a migraine but that's personal taste on my behalf On a techie note I'm dubious of an NA -> turbo conversion that uses an Apexi AFc to control the fuelling. It's woefully limited in load sites and it's not pressure sensitive so it never knows what boost you are running. It looks very shiny under there but an XS power turbo and an inadequate engine management solution would keep me well away from it. Personally. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cacorat Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 the insurance does seem to be a problem... any recomendations... a TT supra came out at £690 fully comp with no claims protection, a single turbo was rejected! So the remapping problems...can they not be solved with a better ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
