It is really - spend the money on a hybrid turbo and a FMIC for the 130 and you'll bring it up to the same levels as a hybrid 150 anyway

For your mate there's a lot of work involved as he'll need the aircon, radiator etc from the 150 to make it fit his 130.  It is not a very straightforward swap!

Otherwise a great opportunity to make your car go faster  :evil:
