I appreciate your input... this is the way I am leaning and glad to know i'm not the only one who thinks it is a good idea!

Yours has a few negatives
Branded title - salvage, rebuilt, no one cares. It’s toxic -25% easily.
Color. Silver.
Doesn’t put people off, but doesn’t excite them either. Let’s not take off the $3-5k I’d argue is a fair adjustment since it’ll just be contentious.
It needs at least 5k (shop price) of work.
110k miles is considered real high. -10k.
Your turbos are knacked. Even stock you should get 0.8bar.
2-3k to replace both. It might be less but at that mileage I’m guessing they need swapping.
Brakes are offputting unless you find someone that doesn’t care about stock. I won’t deduct any $ but IMO it narrows the prospective buyer pool.
No radio - deduct $1k. Yes I know there are cheaper options but you are competing against ones that aren’t missing the stock one.
With that math I’m down to $27k, which is too low unless you want a real fast sale, but I’d be surprised if you get more than $32.
That said, I hope you do. I have a TT myself.

I appreciate your input and don't think you are far off. I'll have to check the boost levels again but I just don't have space on public roads to do much more then a quick 3rd-4th pull so it may boost better... Also waste gate adjustment could be an issue... either way I do have a pair of 40K mile GT2 turbos for it. The car runs well~
I'm in no hurry to sell it if I do. I'll keep fixing little things and try to figure out some of the other known issues.
At the end of the day it is worth more in parts then it is as whole car but think it would be a shame to chop it up... hopefully i'll have time this week to finish up the radiators and cooling system then start working on the other issues.
Thanks for your replies!
