Message	I have been talking to this guy about his 1990 TT for quite a while now. I have become increasingly interested in it and may end up going to check it out this weekend. I need some advice on it from you guys. Here are the details... 1990 TT List of mods: Sport 500 Turbo's Greddy Intercoolers Greddy Airducts JWT dual POP charger JWT ECU Nismo 550 Injectors Earls Oil cooler Downpipe Main Bearing and rod bearings Polished Crank Egr & Egr tube Surfaced exhaust manifolds (when new turbo's installed) Clutch bearings Water Pump All tensioners Timing Belt Front Belts Rear Main Seal Motor Mounts (all) Gaskets (oil pan/intake/upper intake/crank seal/etc..) Brand new paint 1 year ago, painted everything except the engine bay. So the exterior is almost like cherry red pearl, and the bay is black. I think it was painted when there was a small accident (hood and bumper replaced) it has about 100k miles on it, maybe a little less. Most mods have like 6k miles on them. I am going to buy it with no wheels at all. (my idea) cause he has 18 inch konig tantrums on it right now, and they are gold and ugly. Then I can save my money and buy exactly what i want. Please let me know what you think, what i should get checked out/ be aware of. PRICE- $12,500 CANADIAN, (A LITTLE UNDER $10,000 US) Also, what stage do you think this is? I thought with all those mods he would have had a turbo timer/boost controller/ exhaust...... o well can't ask for too much eh? I believe I know alot about these cars, cause I have been researching them for quite a while, and reading almost every post on here. Plus I have driven a TT, an N/A and a 2+2 5 speed, but I still ned help from you guys, cause you are the Z gods! Help me!!! (PS sorry for the repost of this, but i thought i should add pics, and add some more info)
