depends what you want, i love the bora 1.8t but i prefer the vr due to the sound it makes!! with that cash you could get a mint tuned vr! get it supercharged for £1500 quid and then you have 260-300 bhp to play with!  :grin:

If its costing him £770 for a fully comp 1.8T he will probably have to remorgage the house to get insured on a supercharger VR6.

I recently sold my modded VR in favour of buying my mums 1.8T as it is one owner and only 50k from new. Now I really wish I still had my VR  :cry:

Guess its just a personal choice, I just think the 6 sounds lovely and is a bit more raw than the later 1.8T, sure the mk4 is more refined, but I personally prefer the earlier model in terms of how it drives although the Mk4 is a nicer shape :undecided: hard choice!

You could consider the V5 Mk4, could be cheaper to buy than the 1.8T but not as tuneable.  If it doesn't have to be a Golf you'll get the 170 brake version of this engine in the Seat Toledo on a Y plate for 4K fairly easily.  Other option is the Bora.
