Daston Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Remove custom boot build to get the weight down! I dont understand why people weigh the car down with lots of fancy speakers and dvd players and playstations then want the car to be quicker.

Bossco Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I dont thinkk it's worth selling it mate. You should get it how you want it then consider an engine swap. Selling it now has just gone and wasted the money you have spent. Keep it, you know it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Probably cheaper and easier to buy a TT. You could turbocharge your lump and fit a ems if you like your car though. I should think an engine swap is stupidly expensive as it's a lot of labour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i thought you could only really stick a TT lump in & go from there for any worth while power gains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most sensible option though IMO, would be to sell the NA and buy a TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Why not try to sell it for a decent price, if it doesn't sell for what you want then go down the engine swap route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
