Money Pit is a good way to put it. When it comes to hp numbers and get up and go, it is more of a matter of opinion. How fast do you want to go? I personally think somewhere between 300 and 400 hp is more than enough for the street. After all a mk4 turbo does 0 to 60 in about 5 sec. with 280 stock horses. But when it comes to the subject of money, an mk3 does not hold value anywhere near as well as a mk4. All the turbo mk3 s tend to be rather beat and require alot of money to make them reliable and fun again. After all you are talking about a 20 plus year old car. I don't think parts prices are to bad but are much more than parts for a honda civic or chevy 350. And in the end you end up with a car that has hours of work and far more money than its book value.
