   How much are you looking to spend and what do you wish to use the car for? If its a low boost setup with out spending to much for the road or track days I would just stick with the VTR.

   I would say cost to turbo would be same for both 8+16v --but you will always getapprox 25% more power for same boost level ,so its a question of,do you want to swop your vtr lump for a 16valve lump
