I'm quite sure vts into 1.1 shell, the only option is to weld the vts bracket on, you can get away with using a 1.1 mount on a 1.4 and vtr block as the water pump housings are the same.

the mounts in 2 parts. take the orang bit off your vts mount and use the 1.1 part. i dont know if this will defo work though
