Buying a 6

[cwspellowe]

The dervs biggest problem are the gearboxes IMO, the ratios just AREN'T built for speed/racing.. On a '6 box if you rag it to redline it puts you right back in the perfect place after each gear change

Right, but if you set up your pump and blower well you MAKE the XUD box work.

And Niall how can you consistently charge a gti6 for £1500? A second hand kit goes for more than that these days. And if you source the parts yourself and do it you'd be lucky to get it all done including mapping for that.

I think a lot of you need to learn to read though. I'm also an owner of both cars and i've put forward a VERY balanced argument. It's funny how it's the GTi owners that get all fussy when a tuned diesel is mentioned though, it's like when you buy one part of the sale is a clause that makes you a 7krpm elitist...
