Just seen this on Ebay and have noticed (for the 1st time) a twin turbo with an N/A front bumper. Looked at the engine picture and it looks to have the plenum cover of the TT (Red Strip) but then looked at the interior pic and doesnt seem to have the turbo boost gauge. :confused:

 

Any ideas whether a TT or N/A?

Yup no guage and the engine shot is really tight so you cant see additional pipes, pretty suspect.

This might sound thick???

Whats the difference in the TT and N/A front bumper then???

 

And yes there does seem to be a few going about trying to sell N/A's as TT's.

 

And in the long shot the nose panel is red and the close up its white and theres no TT badge on the plenum.

the na front bumper dosent have vents in it for the intercoolers Vini

 

Mine does.

But that pic is deffo no TT, I have a NA and proud to have one.

You have to ask yourself is that ploke stoopid or does he know what he is doing, if no reply contact Flea-Bay.

I just asked him a question :D

Why does your car have an NA front bumper and i can't see i turbo gauge on the dash???

Everything on it points to NA (Bumper, Clocks, no Twin turbo badge on engine) and he's cut the engine pic in so tight you can't tell how many Pipes it has.

 

All a bit suspicious.

ive asked him if he has any way of proving its a TT, hes also now added that its been a write off

blatant blagger...ask him to put up some pics of the turbos and explain why there is no boost guage!!

TY Paul. I will have to keep my eyes open in the future. I never did notice the difference. You learn something new every day. :bow:

He has now changed his advert for all the worriers out there.lol

 

For all the worriers out there it has no boost gauge for reasons unknown to me, as for the front bumper being N/A it probably is but this car is definetly a twin turbo, if you are not happy with this then please dont bid on a car that you are not 100% happy with, Also bumper needs replacing anyway as in original discription.

He has now put up a picture of the full engine bay ... looks like the same bay to me and it does have the other pipes ...

ok theres a twin turbo engine in there, but theres no HICAS, no boost gauge, the car WAS an NA but quite why its ended up with a TT in is anybodies guess.

 

Accident repair sounds likely, the panel and headlamp alignment in the front view shot is all over the place.

 

He's deffinatly hiding the truth about the car.

It says its was a Cat C write-off by last owner in 2002

Its possible someone has done an engine conversion (maybe when it was fixed back in 2002) to the car but forgot about the rest of the TT parts.

i.e: boost gauge, bumper etc.. I'm thinking that he might not even have any intercoolers. :slap: :nelson:

FYI late turbo cars lost the boost gauge on the dash for some reason
