[/quote]If you are that set on having one, I would strongly suggest getting John Taylor


Definitely recommend John. He got me this one had done 58k full history and virtually standard part from a stainless and k&N all for £14,150:

When i got it:




and after a few mods:






With regards to the small turbo, its definitely a much smoother drive had mine chipped to and was quite rapid on motorways too. Got the cravin for more power though and have converted to large turbo which has really given it noticeable lag round town but more frunt on motorways. Just awaiting engine management change.
Insurance isnt to sad either, I have full no claims and am 23 cost 1600 fully comp but considering I used to pay the same for a 1.3 golf tpf at 18 didnt think it was bad.
