iv got a vtr and wanting to increase the acceleration and was wandering are the pug 106 rallye boxes close ration or do they just have the same ratios but with a different final drive if so i could in theory put a 1.1 box on cheers

there all different mate
different clusters and final drives
the 1.1 boxes have a smaller diff in so wont be much good in a vtr

FYI aswell the sports boxes all use the same gear cluster with differend FD.

All of the other boxes imo are not worth touching

nope XSI/Rallye uses the same sports cluster as the vts/gti cluster. they are the sports clusters.

I dont class the vtr as the sporty model :P

According to my sources, the VTR box has slightly different ratios to the main other group of boxes.
