    With a lot of money, time, patience, commitment to getting dirty and DEEP pockets. Do a search mate theres loads of threads that would answer your questions.

    Yes there is a noticeable difference between the two cars. I would turbo a vts if you are going to turbo one but that's my opinion.

    Where is smoother mentioned???

    IMO;

    VTR - Supercharger

    VTS - Turbocharger

    Your looking at alot for both anyway. And alot of setting up. Basic knowledge is also needed I think to run a non-standard turbocharged car.

    Ialways thought the VTR's were the better turbo option as the low town torque compensates for any lag you may get from the turbo?

    Either way its an expensive game what mods do you currently have?

    Then you would need to add some decent stopping power added to the parts list.

    Uprating the shocks if you haven't already? A new clutch would also be on the cards.

    Its a long list I'd consider a vts conversion to start things off they can be done for well under a grand.

    Yes and with the help of AX-Beefy it was fitted over a couple of weekends others have done it alot quicker but the Mk2 engine into Mk1 slowed things down slightly.

    Its been running for about a month now I had a few problems with things that had been bodged (radiator pipe, throttle cable) but they've all broke now and have been replaced with the correct vts parts.

    I piad £500 for everything I even got a warranty, BARGAIN!!!!

    That is a bargain. Yea the vtr's do have better torque but it is still a vtr turbo compared to a vts turbo. I would do a vts turbo but that is my opinion.

    for the money a vts engine convershion is a bargin as you will get 30bhp more then your vtr. cheap to do if you can do it yourself as well.

    Why an 8v engine has lots of torque and with a Turbo on they go very very well as i know
