What would the value be with a 97 TT that has work done on it by Andial? Work done was turbo chargers, ecu, rods, pistons, intercooler but it was kept a 3.6 overall HP is around 530...other work done by another shop was for the tranny, clutch, etc to be able to comfortably support the additional HP...thanks in advance for the feedback

Per Andial:
"We pride ourselves that when a vehicle enters the market and the for sale sign states, "ENGINE BY ANDIAL", the car will command a premium price."

What would that premium be? Aside from the work mentioned the car has ~15,000 miles, color that is sought by some, Riviera Blue black interior...tranny work and suspension setup was done by Musante Motors in CT

I'm not where I can look at it right now, but I recollect that there is a 3.6 in the Andial registry.
Calculating a premium is tough. There are only 20 or 21 of these.
I'd guess a bit less than a full boat 3.8 twin plug with the switchable ECU.
As for longevity, it depends upon the use of the car. Obviously if you are tracking the car on the race gas setting, wear will be accelerated. If you are just driving on the street the motor will rarely be stressed, and with all the premium hardware, and should last longer than a stocker.

Then has the seller indicated a "premium"?

Have to agree there.

On this thread we see an asking price of $105k on a 3.8 conversion.

IMHO, I don't think an Andial modded 3.6 will command a 3.8 conversion "premium", but most likely a "premium" over stock.

IIRC, there was forum talk here about whether or not OEM S mods would command a "premium" if it was factory installed or dealer installed.

Only1Buck: But if the car is what you want and everything checks out, go for it. In the end, the thrill of TT ownership is hard to beat.

The seller has not indicated a premium based on the Andial mods, but the asking price is $89500 for a 15K mile Riviera Blue TT...CANYSMC as you note if the car is what you want and everything checks out...I will keep the board posted...
