I'd have big reservations about buying this car, too many alarm bells for me.

Firstly it's on 140k. Which isn't huge mileage for a standard B7, but for a charged one that's being constantly pushed to the limits of what the standard internals can take, it is.
Secondly, there's been numerous issues, failures, with TTS cars running that kind of power for long periods.
The owner "says" it's x BHP, but the dyno graph is from almost a decade ago. So a) it won't be running that power anymore and b) it has been charged and running excess power for a long time
He had the car listed at £25k then within under a week reduces it to £19,995. Why do you just randomly knock £5k off a car that is already cheap? MRC charge £20k for this conversion...
He also categorically states zero warranty given or implied.
If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

I'd steer well clear.

Well I bought it.. theres a few issues tbh clutch etc, but seems to make good power.. I bought with the idea of swapping the charger on to my Avant, but overall she seems decent and for what I paid its worth it for the charger alone, I could break and make all or most of the money back, but in all honesty with a few quid she seems a good buy and might just leave her as is.. might need another charger for the Avant tho, I spoke to the previous owner and got a honest opinion on what was needed cause the seller was not telling the truth, clutch only on flat shift, and probably a couple of front arms but hey these cars need something somewhere all the time anyway.. at the moment i'm happy

Hey I’ve got a b7 PES supercharged engine with about 50k on it with gear box and a brand new dachshund clutch too which I’m thinking of taking out of my b7 as I think I might break it also have ceramic front brakes aswell as buckets and front end any one interested call me on 07368364145

Thanks

Yeah could tell the seller was covering stuff up and just wanted to get rid. You don't just knock £5k off a car in a week if everything is ok haha.
Glad you're happy with it and like you say for that price you can make most of your money back on the mods anyway.
