    :D:zlove::D:zlove::D:zlove::D:zlove:

    words cannot describe how stoked i am!

    I picked up my new TT on wednesday afternoon and have been loving it ever since! Marc (akeizm) was mad for selling such a mint example, it is truely difficult to fault :zlove::zlove::zlove:

    Power is INSANE, still getting used to the turbo rush. It is quite laggy but it hits boost at 4.5k rpm and pulls like a train right to the limiter :D:D

    Only thing im not loving so much is fuel economy, in the first 100kms i used 35litres of fuel :eek::eek::eek: with a lighter foot that has come down alot, but you can almost see the fuel gauge plummet when it boosts!

    I'm rambling, parting picture of old black NA and new red TT (TT is filthy at the time!)

    cool as, yeah the TT's can suck it up, tame driving will get much better fuel economy, all you need to do now is paint it black and it'll be a real TT :D

    Dang

    I got that front nose, headlight panel, skirts, door fillers waiting to go on my 2+2 looks good... mines silver though but love it in red. Hope that combo looks as good in 2+2 as it does on your 2 seater.

    awesome to here :D TT pwns NA

    What turbos are in it? 4.5K rpm seems late to hit full boost.

    I hate the lag on mine and im on full boost at 4K (high flowed T28's)

    I'm getting the same MPG you are too though :D

    Hmmm... :rolleyes: I'm yet to encounter either of these.

    Aza's had more engine swaps (and a rebuild or 2) than anyone else I know. And guess what, NA! :)

    TT doesn't mean less reliable. ;)

    Happend to me the other way around, NA was bullet proof (as a lot of people say they are) had the TT 4 months needs a rebuild lol

    Congrats, sounds like I did 8 months ago. Both the NA and TT have their good and not so good points. You will love the TT, but just dont expect to push it as hard when you are flogging up a private mountain road :p
    The power curve of the TT is very easy to misjudge, and lead to wheelspin that you just don't get in the NA. After all, we all know power is useless unless you can actually get it to the ground. :cool:
