Darren's pristine gle turbo went for high thousands, this one is nothing like as good.
You didn't see that car in person in guessing. But that gle had a Rebuilt forged piston and H Beam rods, block, no head work and ran lh2. 2 not motronic, which is not as good. Plus the buyer knew he wanted a built engine.
So take 2k off that price and it brings it to what this car sold for last time. $6000
Yes you can put a stronger box in. T5 manual with an adapter plate and you keep the stock bellhousing etc.
