Had a look and its an f85. The guy that I bought it from said it had been back to tt for a hop up on the standard set up and was closer to a minker what ever that is.He reckoned it pulled 165mph no problems , in his back garden of course, but that could be pub talk for all I know or care.

Minker is 323HP, F85 is a fair way off that engine wise, althought your car may have had other TT Tweaks.

As i say, I could well be interested as My TT engine is currently a non runner, although your location and price would be a big factor.
