The PD engines are either 130bhp or 150bhp, both will remap well and will provide you with buckets of torque as well. I'd go for a 150 if you can find a decent one :wink:

and the 115bhp

All easily identifiable by a 6 speed gearbox  :nerd:

Get the 130; they suffer less problems with their camshafts than the 150
