Well once I sell my 1.8t, I should have around £1500/1600 to spend.

Need to start looking around. Still torn between the anni and vr6 now

If you are planning on keeping it standard (maybe just a cheeky drop on the suspension) then the Annie could be a good investment, if however, you are wanting to mod the car I wouldn't bother with an Annie, I think they should be left as original as possible.
I am obviously biased since I own a VR, but you could pick up quite a tasty one for that sort of money, I can't help thinking you would be slightly disappointed with the Valver performance after your 1.8T

i doubt you'd be dissappointed, both standard then a mk3 16v is just a fraction quicker then a 1.8t so i dont see how you could be?

I ane owned both vr6 and 16v. The 16v is way better esp if u get head port etc done. The vr6 is not that much quicker period.

Standard versus standard, the vr is still considerably quicker than the 16v.
Change the upper inlet manifold and throttle body for a 2.9, remap it, and you'll have the same power as the corrado...
The 16v is much more expensive to tune, period..

True.
But the 16v had lower gearing to make better use of the lower torque but higher revs...and will ALWAYS understeer less than a VR6.

True the 16v will always handle better when really pushed..
But the VR6 IS quicker than the 16v, there is no doubt about that...
