Okay well getting a loan through soon love the Sax to bits but its just to slow.
So shall i go down the throttle bodies/cams/remap route
Or the turbo route
Which would be the better value for money and would a turbo be reliable and would it decrease the mpg?

any performance mod will decrease MPG,
but you thought about dropping a vts lump in then cams, throttle bodies or a turbo.
or maybe a supercharger?

The dropping a vts engine option has crossed my mind but i could sell my vtr and get a scooby 2.0 sport which is faster than the vts more stylish and would probably cost me the same in the long run..

a scooby sport has a 0-60 of about 9.5 secs if i recall, if it aint a turbo dont even bother with it. A vts would eat a scooby sport all day long

hahaha that is suck a good point there, but ya never kno mate, some dudes might lyk that shit? lol. but theres no point turbo'n a vtR, even really spendin that much on tunin it, as you could probably sell your R n buy an S for around the same price, n it wud take a few quid to get an R to keep with a good S
