Good luck then. Because a 1g with a just a turbo upgrade (16g) is not even worth more then 2k unless you have restored the exterior and have a fresh new paint job and the interior is in great shape and the motor has either low mileage or is rebuilt and a few other things inbetween. I think you need to do some research on what these cars are worth before thinking you'll get more then 2k for one with just a turbo upgrade. Like I stated these cars are money pits you can ditch out 10k on them and you'll never get it back. Reason why most that are nicely built eventually get parted out. Again good luck there's a difference between whats low for you and how much a car is really worth. If you paid 3k-4k for the car to begin with and it was stock then you got suckered in. I paid for my old 1g TSI 3k (stock form) 3yrs ago... cars depreciate and then it wasn't even worth that much but I wanted one so I settled for it then.
Good luck.
