   will fit mate. best of looking for a gti one as its bigger, 24mm, where as vts is 22mm i believe
   cant comment on fitting told they are easy, i have yet to touch the 24mm arb i have in garage as ive never messed with rear so waitin to see if someone else can give us a hand, or waiting til i grow some more balls to have ago myself
   
   do you know how big the westie arb is?

   yes direct swap.
   
   22mm is a vts arb 24mm is a gti arb
   
   Depends how much you push your car to whether you will notice it as much, i went to a 24mm and noticed the difference.
   
   Not sure what size arb you have tbh

    I got mine brand new from Peugeot for £80, they're not particularly expensive.
    
    The Westie one will probably be 19mm

    thats quite good would of expected it to be more from them so i should see a major improvment seeing as mines around 19mm
