Spot on or remap the 115
Title: Re: my new tdi
Post by: Steve_PD on 19 April 2011, 17:16
not unless the 115 had a major problem then it would be just as cheap to fit a 130 as a 115
isnt the difference between the 2 only the turbo :undecided:

Injectors and ECU are different too as well as the camshaft (I think).  Also the MAP sensor is different

Maps out a better than a 115, but only by aboyt 20bhp and and similar torque, so still abit costly really.
