Hi everyone, i am in the middle of buying a 2000 180 hp tt, its has upgraded, blow off valve, injectors, plugs, cold air intake, front mount intercooler, and a Ko4 turbo instead of the k03. It is tuned professionally as well and has a chip in it. i also like the car because it is painted matte black, has a carbon fiber hood and body kit....

what I want to know is, is it better to get that, or buy a stock 2001 225 TT and just add the body kit and paint...

the thing I'm most worried about is the reliability of the 180,,, running a ko4.. I'm not sure if it come stock with the forged rods headers and what not. or what else the 225 has to support the extra power. should i be worried about the engine handling that extra stress?

The black 180 I'm looking at is only $7400, and has only 78 thousand miles on it. the 225 is $9200 and has about the same miles.


thanks any help is greatly appreciated

 

the 180's and 225's both have Forge internals .
i would just get the 180 and be done with it .
