    What's your budget & how much power are you after.

    I think one guy has played with cams. Several have played with chips - I think the greddy emanage. Do a search on greddy and see what turns up.

    Where abouts are you based? If you can be in Sheffield for fireworks weekend, you may be able to have a look at a couple of quick Legnums. (See the Events section.)

    There are two ways of catching up on ideas - at a meet, or reading through lots of old threads!

    When your turbos start to SUUUUUCK (especially if you're running more than standard boost), you can see the standard woven textile pipes flex and ripple - not good for even, steady boost, and if you're running mega-ninja-whoneedspistonsanyway boost levels, the standard piping may let go. But the VR-4 isn't in much danger of that I don't think.
