   diesal boxes are stronger usually. a mate has a 1.1 gearbox in his vtr which seems to out perform the origional box of the lights
   but it definately tops out alot sooner than the vtr.

   diesel box is no stronger than any other MA box, and a 1.1 box would also top out sooner than a vtr box
   
   as for putting a diesel box into a vts, only benefit is increased top speed, but unless you have the power to get there (ie 'charged) then you'll never see it. if you can't find a vts box then get a 1.1 box.
