    Its not the vts box you want mate, you want the box out of the 106 rallye. The rallye is an 8 valve with a closer ratio box than the vtr as standard.

    Means you will rev higher on the motorway but will pull better in the lower gears too.

    Not sure how much you will pay and fitting i dont know either, these are quite rare anyway to see on a vtr.

    the vtr box has a longer ratio compared to the 16v unit

    ive got a vts box on my vtr and have felt little to no improvement tbh mate, any increase in accleration is negligable

    with regards to price its a good 4 hours worth of labour so fitting prices ive been qouted range from £150 - £220ish
