   Depends on what you want to pay for an engine and are you planning on doing it yourself or paying for labour? labour will cost the most, you can pick up an engine between 300/400 and it isnt that hard to fit.
   
   The difference is quite a lot, about 30bhp and is probably the best power per pound mod you can buy.

   Btw, try to get an engine with the same type ecu as your current vtr. So if you have a three plug vtr engine get a three plug gti/vts engine. saves a lot of hassle.

   do a search, gti and vts conversions are basically the same thing.
   
   yes, 20 -30 hp depending which vtr you have = a lot of benefit
