   Most people just get a valeo, with a valeo you cant go wrong. Buy cheap buy twice.

   I agree with Gav tbh
   
   Use valeo at any given opportunity. If you cant get hold of once then the only other alternative is LUK.
   
   Stay away from anything else, especially transmech

    Thy will yeah, but the s2 box isn't much different from a vts box, I was offered one but didn't bother, imo not worth it if your vts box is strong.
    As for s1, there good if you dont do much motorway driving. If your after acceleration its the way to go.

    Wicked, my vts box is strong and tight, but i would like to see what diffrents it would make with a S1 Box in it, would it make much diffrents? i have to do clutch soon anyway, so box will need to come out.
    
    Thanks buddy

    S1 box will make a massive difference. There's a chart on here somewhere that lists the max speeds of each box in each gear. Iirc with a s1 box will do about 110 on the standard rev limit on a vts, so not great for motorway work. You'll be at about 4k at 70.

    keep up to point with my gti it keep the 1.3 on the boil fine on a 16v will be great but as said if you use the car on dual carriage ways, bypaases, mways a fair bit then no, id get a xsi box its a better compromise
