Untrue, not all vtr boxes do. I bought a vtr fifth to fit in my 1.4 xsi box, when i came to counting teeth I found the fifth from the vtr, vts box i took off and xsi box where exactly the same.
Talking to adsayer, I've been informed some of the vtr boxes have the same fifth as the other 'sports' boxes, some of the 1.1 fifths will provide a longer gear. Pm Barry123 (adsayer) as he knows more than me on the subjects
