Have to ask, what's subtle about a carbon bonnet and how do you know he paid 30k? You can pick up TT's for 5k or so now.

I just meant it didn't have a stupid bodykit on it, nor a mechano spoiler.It was tastefully done.
But then most German tuned cars are
'fairly' subtle in appearance.
Dunno where I got£30k from

I was just thinking, its prob a higher spec TT to start with if its to be tuned to 350.The wheels alone, if they were indeed 20"
(at least 19s) would have cost a few grand by the look of it.
Then the engine tuning.
To get 100-200bhp
more from an engine must also cost a few grand.
Ok, lets say the car has cost
£15k realistically.

The VW/Audi 1.8t 2.0t motors arent that difficult to get that amount of power from.
Also German tuners being subtle makes me laugh.Have you ever seen a porsche that techart has touched?

If you're starting with the 225 it's a turbo, intercooler and ecu tweak.There's another thread
(R34 Vs TT) and I think I posted a link, there's companies that do whole packages in power upgrades.
There was one for 350bhp and one for 450bhp which both, all in all cost about
£5k iirc.
What makes me laugh(and this is not aimed at anyone on this thread before anyone starts getting angry) is that the TT is viewed by some MR2 owners as both girly and hairdresser.
Yet most of the rest of the motoring world view the MR2 in exactly the same way.![]()
I've only ever been in one, a standard late 90's(in the early 00's so it was fairly new then) 225 Quatro.
I must say, while it wasnt breathtakingly fast, it was very, very nice.
It felt so solid, the interior is gorgeous and made so so well.
It really is a whole generation ahead of even the newest jap interiors let alone the older generation.
It's definately a car I would consider owning I have to say.Only one of the top spec ones.
I wouldnt have a 150-175bhp FWD model.

Standard fueling is good for 350bhp?

I cant say that for certain, injectors and what not are good enough.
But this kit: http://www.thettshop.com/performance.as ... uct=100009
Only contains a turbo and associated parts to fit it and claims a power of 325bhp
Imagine coupling that with a full exhaust, intercooler and decent management.Or going a bit further and fitting something a bit bigger than a GT28 turbo.
Although personally, I wouldnt want bigger laggier turbo.
