   Vtr box has a final drive of 3.765 and vts/gti has 3.93. The higher the number, the shorter the ratio.
   
   Yes it would help 0-60

   80-150. Usualy loads in the clasifieds or ebay or a scrappy. Make sure you check the gearbox code though as most scrappys dont have a clue and say all box's are the same, you could end up with a vtr box.
