I was, due to all the talk of the Blouch being way better.
The problem I have is the company I keep. Having fun with GB(Cosworth motor) , Brainy(Phil Lowe built with Cosworth bits), Jaydece(260+ awkw) and 3rspecb(supercharged) keeps you thinking and wanting a just a little bit more power..
But I've spoken to my tuner and I'm sticking to the VF52. Advice received was the Blouch would get me a few more kws above 6000RPM but lower down the Blouch would be identical and perhaps the VF may actually be a better match if lower RPM torque is favoured.
There is a plan to get a bit more out of my current setup in a cost effective manner and am currently waiting on the quote from MSR prior to making an appointment.
I won't post how much I spent last year, in case my wife reads this post but will say this year I've already spent $5500 which included the timing belt service. I was trying to keep car expenditure under control. Obviously I'm not having much success.
Brother B? As said many a times....you really cant compare our cars....I do know what you are saying as well...but end of the day? If your loving the car as is and enjoy the way it drives...then keep it at that...
Your car goes hard as it is....enough said....going bigger in turbo is only going to shift the power band up in the rev range? and daily you don't drive in those conditions where you need to be at high RPM...
I know we are bad influences
....but being on this forum doesn't mitigate it any better... 
Save your worries and $$$$ and spend it on other joyful toys.....*coughs GOLF*...
Lastly: don't talk about costs on cars.....I'm burnt out bad....$$$$ wise...
