   nope, only on VTR, Furio and 1.1 as the CAT is in the manifold, CAT is always under the car on the VTS

    single plugs are slightly better for modifying i do believe but not that much diffrence that id make a car buying decision on it however
    
    depends how far you want to go with the tuning really,

    and single plug means you can get a standalone ecu which plugs straight in with a wiring harness. 3 plugs is a ball ache to wire.

    Get some pics lol.
    
    A 2000 model should be a single plug.
    
    Magnex dont do manifolds.

    welll been to look at it. Complete NO NO lol. got there it was really dirty had few dinks in the doors. seat was a bit worn on edge. its only supposed to have 33k but i doubt it. inside was a mess. engine bay was rubbish, it had an oil leak maybe from the rocker cover or worse the head. it was not even that fast. it was supposed to have 157 bhp as well. so nope. if anyone is selling a vts please inform me
