hello people,
Just been to look at a coupe 16v turbo in yellow,
its on 70k and has multi spoke oz wheels, baily d/valve coilover suspension and a few bits here and there.
only problem with it is it hits a dead spot at 5k (upon turbo boost,)
I asked a mechanic friend and said its prob a connection problem with the turbo as when it goes to spin up it hits the dead spot.
what do you all think??
other then that it drives perfict, starts fine, no iol/water leaks, and sits there ideling fine.
has 11 months mot 5 months tax and has a minor dink on the ns wing.

Would've thought the Turbo would already be 'on-boost' before 5K? Was there any smoke?

Erm... 'minor problem' - I'd investigate that before you commit to buying it.

195 bhp as it was driven out the factory, have you gone though all the history, read the FAQ and checked all the guides?
how much did you pay for it as well? (if you don't mind me asking)

firstly, you can back out unless for some reason i can't think of you're legally committed to taking it.
secondly, renegotiate with him that you WILL take it at the agreed price if he gets it sorted, or at least diagnosed.
thirdly, if you do take it, book it in to poweritalia in basildon and get them to give it the once over

I dont know enough about mechanics to have any idea what could be causing the revs to be so limited. But I do know that I wouldn't buy a performance car with such a fundemental fault, and I especially wouldn't take the sellers word that it was something simple and cheap to cure. The chances are if the car was well maintained he would have put it right before trying to sell it. Tell him if he sorts the revs out you'll buy it
