its a tt but been converted to single. im going over all the paperwork monday morning so will give it a proper going over

 

anyone from the norfolk area that could come have a look?

 

This could be a HUGE lemon if you aren't careful. As JamieP said, auto was the factory option on the RHD versions. If it was a TT and converted to single, entirely possible, but if it is a 5 spd it does sound like it may be a bit of an interesting one.

 

Have you seen the engine bay? Out of interest does it have a intake manifold running across the top of the engine or along side on the right?

Single turbo and a w58 5 speed gearbox wont last 2 min mate.

 

What you want to do is get a full spec and pics and post them up here, we will try our best to give you advice on the car:)

across top gav.

 

im guessing, judging from the piping, the bottom one is what i want, looks tt

 

Then yes, it is an NA-T conversion. While they do work, implementation of them has been VERY iffy depending on who has done the work and how they have done it.

 

I'd personally think VERY carefully on this one. There was a member on here who had a good few hassles with his and it went through a gearbox or two if memory serves me right. It was an orange one.

this one is black.

 

its all been done professionally. 20k worth of reciepts.

 

a place near norwich that is said to be good? dont remember the name.

 

ow i dunno wot to do now as she was gorgeous

 

Does ANY of it say XS-power on it? Bromie on here had a boostlogic NA-T installed and that wasn't cheap but it was done properly.

You've been sucked in by sales talk, you're much better off looking for a clean stock TT, don't let your heart rule your head :)

Jamie and Jay are right as well ;), it could be a little treasure with an awesome single conversion that has been absolutely spot on... chances are it isn't though (that is the sad reality)
