Nice idea dude, but unfortunately it wouldn't work.

There are many differences between the internals on the 115 and 150 bhp engines, not to mention a totally different turbo!

That said, drive your car into a tunit dealers, and they'll give you nearly 140bhp and 260 lb ft for approx ?400

Can't say beter than that!

Its a very simple plug in module, takes about twenty minutes to fit, is easily removable come service time ;)

Because it is such an easy job, you can order the part mail order, rather than driving to your nearest dealer.

At ?400 for that sort of power increase you can't complain eh?

I reckon its probably the best 'bolt-on' performance upgrade I have seen and definately one I will consider when I get my TDI :)
