   Would it be better to turbo a VTR realistically?
   Was only thinking of changing the engine because mine is up to 70,000miles

   The vtr's have better torque like already mentioned but personal opinion and I think many would agree that it would be better to turbo a vts as the advantages and gains would be greater.

   they eventually would be greater, depends how much power you want and how much you have to spend. no point having shed loads of power when you cant get it down. id prob chose a vtr, it will still have loads of power, maybe a bit more controllable aswell.

    yes for a DECENT one, you can get them done as cheap as 2k from some places, but if you read around yo will see, you get what you pay for! remember 5k covers parts, labour (biggest cost), mapping, etc, etc. but as said above, you will need to upgrade oter parts such as brakes, etc too!!!
