FS: MKV R32 Turbo Stage 3
Dear all,
The time has come for me to let go of the project that I've been working on since day 1 that I have received this car. Many hours and dollars have been spent on this car and I value it dearly - not to mention how tough it will be to see this car go.
Some of you might know my build thread (http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80853), as well as all the hard work put into this project. The reason why I have to let it go is because I am residing in New York, and I don't need the car anymore. Moreover, I am leaving the country for good in the next few months. Trust me, if I can keep the car, I would.
The car is currently located in New York, NY, but the stock parts are back in Boston, MA. Let me know what works best for you and we can figure something out to get everything together.
The Car
- 2008 MKV R32
- DSG Transmission
- Candy White
- 38,xxx Miles
- No accidents
- Inspection sticker expires May 2011
- I am currently still financing the car, but as soon as there is a willing buyer, I will pay off the remaining amount right away
The Flaws
As with any used car, there are a couple of flaws with this car.
- There is a minor bump on the rear right fender, but the paint is still intact, and I'm sure this can be fixed by any body shop for a couple hundred dollars.
- The paint on the bottom of the front bumper is starting to peel, and I was quoted $350 to repaint the entire bumper.
Why this car?
- A great start for a project car. C2 Motorsports now has a Stage 4 upgrade available, boasting 500 bhp. So don't get discouraged by the numbers I have, there are quite a few upgrades to get the numbers where you want them! It's just a matter of upgrading the DSG software, putting new injectors, and increasing boost.
- This car has been kept meticulously and with love. Although it is daily driven, it has faced very little issues since its major turbo upgrade (which has been on for 10,000 miles now).
- With the most technologically advanced DSG transmission, Haldex AWD and an exhaust note that will disappear from the future VW .:R models, this is truly the car that will attract only VW enthusiasts but performance enthusiasts alike.
- And seeing the faces of the owners of various sports cars after a VW zips past is always a plus :wink:.

The Numbers
Dyno
Note: These dyno numbers were taken on a Mustang, which is known to read lower than Dynojet. Moreover, this specific Mustang dyno was said by the owner to read lower than other dynos, so please understand that dyno numbers are very relative. C2 Motorsports claims that this car should be making around 450 bhp.
Max Power: 335.1 @ 6246 RPM
Max Torque: 334 @ 4738 RPM
1/4 Mile
Note: The 1/4 Mile times were done before more mods were made to the car, including the HPA Intake Manifold, and an exhaust manifold leak fix. Moreover, without the increased launch control rpm, the car will bog down, and hence it does not show the best of times, but the MPH gives a good picture of its performance at this point.
Best Time: 13.083 @ 111.37
The Videos
Note: The pulls were done before i fully went stage 3. I previously uploaded the videos to Vimeo, but had to upload them to Youtube to embed them and make them easier to view. Aren't I nice :smile:
Playing around with my friend's B7 RS4
The Pictures
The Credits
All turbo work was done by Alex @ Wentworth Motorsports (http://www.wentworthmotorsports.com/), and other technical work with Mike at Autobahn Performance (http://www.autobahnperformance.com/) and TC at Automotive Specialist (http://www.automotivespecialist.net/).
The Price
With well over $75,000 spent on this car, I am asking for $40,000. Price reduced!! Taking best offers as well.
What you will get:
- All invoices of the work done to the car
- All stock parts (except for the factory front brakes), including stock wheels, stock hood, intake, etc.
Please, serious inquiries only. If you think the price is too steep, do not bother posting a reply, it won't help anybody at this point. If I do realize it is too high, I will adjust accordingly.
Also, please do not ask if I will part out the car. At this point in time, I am not looking to part out or trade the car. Thank you so much!

Thanks for looking,
