you can tell by the turbo you get with the engine, if you get a vj-20 you gotta gtx.

but did not the GTX come with vj-22 sometimes or something. Some guy got his GTX here with a 22 on it. But it was gtx Internals and not GTR internals.

from my observation, some came with the VJ-22 also. The GTR came with the VJ-23. If anybody knows otherwise, please say so

There is a B6T, however...
