How many miles on that walked engine?
I have a 96 Talon Tsi AWD and I love it. I've owned it for 6 years now. Its getting kinda old but its been really reliable.

Just a little bit above 101k. It started feeling really rough once you would get above 4 grand, and then finally it broke the crank sensor

Re: New DSM here
I bought the car with 88k miles, and it had the big 16g on there. After owning the car a little longer and talking to the previous owner a little more, I'm sure it's seen it's fair share of time at the strip. It had a FP green on it before I bought it, and had a stage 3 shep transmission. Basically, you're not gonna put in a shep tranny if you didn't plan on making big numbers. If it was kept stock it probably would still be ticking right now, but it's having a built 6 bolt going back in, so all is good
