But the 225bhp is a 1.8t, better base to start from as opposed to the 150 aint it  :wink:

im currently putting in a AUM 1.8t in. havent actually started yet. should get it going next week. still got a few things to sort out. if you can get a good deal on a 225, then go for it. you got the k04 then, ready to roll. decat, FMIC and the correct map will see you to 270bhp and similar torque stats.

I think the big issue with 225 engines is their rarity and cost!! (earlier and better 150 engines are very cheap now)
