   got a bit of a tuned VTR and the 1.4 box in it now is coming towards the end of its life.. RIP lol.
   
   Im thinking a VTS box but im not sure, don't want a 1.1 box really as I will definitely shred that in no time but I hear VTS box has slightly longer ratios and obviously a better diff.
   
   anyone here put a VTS box in their R's?!
   If so what's it like, much difference over standard?
   
   Any help would be great
   thanks!

   didnt notice that much difference between them when i put a vts box in my vtr, just redlined sooner and used more fuel.
   go for the xsi box
