Turbo, intercooler and map. 150 are normally better specced too but suffer from the cams wearing

i`d say there was about a 20bhp difference.. :grin:  just kidding..
apparently the 130 engines are a better choice and can be mapped just as well with chosen mods.. i think injectors are one of them?

The difference is noticeable but in a different way if that makes sense  :undecided:

130 has quicker spool up so will feel quicker off the line.  150 drive more like a petrol as its power is more towards the top end

look at both versions and get the car in the best condition for the right price, once there remapped there practically identical. my mates mapped gttdi is on a par with my dads mapped 130 passat! id even be brave enough to say the passat would pull away on a high speed run

Go for a 130 with a remap.
