    Okay I'm in a small dilemma, I'm going to be going boost and I have a vts engine in my garage and a vtr as my daily, has anyone ever ran just a decomp plate on a vts ? How much more un reliable will the s be than the r ? And what power will the vts run with around 7-8 psi ?Cheers

    Budget first?
    Blackie 2k5 will be best bet, hes done the 8v and now going 16v boosted motors...

    Already have everything to boost my 8v

    Garret t28
    Intercooler
    Boost pipes
    Cituning manifold
    Cituning down pipe
    Oil feed lines
    Megasquirt v3 ecu
    Mocal oil cooler
    Turbosmart boost controler

    Just need a decomp but may sell my manifold and downpipe and go for the dp ones
    Also budget is not an issue just don't want to spend that ammount on low comps and forged rods just to go in a saxo

    Why do you think the s will be more unreliable than the r?

    Yes several people have run decomp plates with a vts. Others have just run two gaskets fine also.

    Power wise on a vts with the above parts you may make 200bhp ATF.

    You say budget is not an issue. Have you really factored in everything? Cooling? Drivetrain? Mapping etc?

    so what is your end objective?
