   for the cost, Id probably just use the new style 16v out of C2's, 207s, Xsaras etc. Pick one up with low miles, probably not abused for about 200 quid.

   If you have just got a VTR why are you doing this?
   You could of just picked up a GTI or VTS instead?

   He could be 17 and in which case way out of his insurance league!
   
   If you advise he doesn't break the law, well, I'd say that's up to him really...

   for the money I couldnt afford a vts in the same condition as the vtr i ourchased, and im just looking at my options, whether to convert to vts or on the other hand i have been looking in to turbo conversions on which i need a bit advice about, I have been looking into Cituning, not sure whether people reccomend them or not?
