If you're after a derv then it should be either a PD130 or PD150. From what I've read the PD150 is the better of the two...has different turbo, injectors, inlet & FMIC. With a good remap you'll see 190bhp & 300+lb/ft.

The PD150 is known to have cams made of chocolate so I'd be looking for one that has already had them replaced.

Both petrol and dev Anni golfs on eBay for £3000

Thanks chap but i'd be interested to see what the petrol guys have to say on this and what realistic performance I can get for my budget.

As for a petrol, £3k would see you with a pretty well sorted 1.8T. You'll be able to pick up a decent one for around £2000, leaving you with another £1k to spend straight away. I'd be looking for an earlier AUM engine, and look at upgrading the turbo at a later date.

With your £1k I'd be looking at sorting handling first...decent coilovers (KW or similar), polybushes, arb's, brakes, then a good service and remap (with an upgraded recirc valve).

Further down the line....FMIC, exhaust, KO4, injectors, 3" MAF, S3 fuel pump, TIP, silicone hoses etc.

As said, that would be the very top end of my budget and can anyone please tell me what makes an Anni worth nearly double (in some cases) what a stocker is. How much would it cost to buy a stock gti and get it to Anni spec?

Then the lights, valances, side skirts, seats, clocks, alu trim etc.

If your fitting genuine parts then you'll be looking at about a grand for that lot.
