Doesn't seem a bad price all things considered.
The power quoted seems optimistic for the mods declared though even with a print out, nigh on 400 on a modest set up?

Andy Forrest stage 2, so may be it has a different turbo and the seller doesn't know what it is.

I'd want to see the graph and some other supporting info. Maybe contact Andy Forrest, he may have details of what was fitted.

If he has receipts it should detail the Andy Forest work along with any other supporting mods to back up the bhp claims.
I think Ł6500 is more of a fair price. IMO

Front bumper looks like it needs painting in one of the pics but otherwise looks lovely.

I sent the seller a message last week asking a few questions but by the time they got back to me I had bought another one.

You didn't get a chance to view it in person then bud?

Apparently it's a stage 4 not stage 2 Andy Forrest upgrade pack which has a AF321H turbo on there so maybe that graph is true? It's either an honest mistake or somebody is trying to royally take the pěss.

Car looks nice enough I must be honest, think we gonna have to just go and take a look tbh find out what the crack is, fingers crossed car is as described
