   I assume you mean a 4-1 manifold.
   
   You not thought about putting a 16v engine in there. It would give you more BHP then you would get from the modifications that you are looking at/have got currently. If not then get a stand-alone ECU, much better then missing around with the stock one, some places won't touch the stock one anyway. If you got an OMEX or something similar, I think you can take it will you for other cars, you just need a new loom for it.
   
   What is your budget anyway? There isn't much you can do to a VTR to get big power unless you are prepared to throw big money at it.

   hi there i did wont a 16v in did not know any 1 that would do it so just put other mods in. got about £1000 to spend for now. its about 125 bhp would like it to 150 bhp it needs all bushes in and other things done as well.

   125 is good for vtr its a shame that you could not gert someone to purt an s lump
   you still would of had change for 4 2 1 manifold de cat and induction kit that would of been about 132bhp then you couold of saved for cams in future etc

   you can buy an engine and pay someone to fit it for less tahn £500, would be a much better idea imo
   
   i paid £300 for everything to do my conversion, i fitted it myself but willamsvts (or something along those lines) said he'll fit an engine for £150
