There was a thread on this a day or so ago if you had searched.
No you cant just bolt it on if staying OE on everything else.
You also DONT need a vts head fo boost, you can do it on 8v.

That kit you were bidding on probably came with a manifold, which is the reason why he's saying it won't work, because 8v and 16v manifolds have different port spacings

you can turbo an 8v, but 16v ones generally see more power 
if his kit is a 16v one it wont fit an 8v

lol bit different to an engine though. When we know for example different cam profiles will warrant different bits doing to the head etc.... depending on the overall build.
