Ibiza PD130 vs PD150 differences?

[phpgear]

Does anybody know or have a link to the differences between the Ibiza FR PD130 and the Ibiza Cupra TDI PD150? (i have tried searching but not much luck)

Is it just a bigger turbo and a FMIC?

cheers.

Yes - and a different map to utilise them better, hence the extra 20bhp.

The Cupra TDI is 160bhp, not 150.

Are you just talking about engine differences, or the rest of the car as well ?

Oops forgot to add that. I mean Just the engine differences

In that case it's +30bhp, huge FMIC, bigger turbo, bigger air intake, different map

Cheers dude. Im really set on the FR now but want to be aiming to match my Civics 200bhp so just wanted to know whats going to help

Have you driven any of them yet ?

The power delivery is completely different to a high-revving petrol, I think you'll be surprised. The punch of the mid-range torque will make it feel very quick.

It's not all about peak bhp figures

Nah mate, been to look at one which im very keen on. Going to have a test drive of it saturday Don't think i will miss the high revs though, it does my head in after a bit. Over taking on duel carriage ways can be embarrassing sometimes having to rev the sh*t out of it just to get a bit of power

In that case you will probably welcome the TDI mid-range, but the lack of revs will probably take some getting used to...
