Turbo, intercooler and map. 150 are normally better specced too but suffer from the cams wearing
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

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
