Hi All
Can anyone tell me if the difference in the claimer power for the 70 series at 150 kw and the 200 series at 195 kw is just a different chip or are they different motors . ie one single turbo and the other twin turbo any info would be appreciated.

Cheers Big Nick

I would say the 70 is detuned because its common in 3rd world countries with poor quality fuel standards

OK a proper answer this time.

The 70 series is set at 151kw and 430Nm, exactly the same as the 100 series because it has the same manual gearbox that the 100 series had.

I'm sure it's capable of a lot more but because it's lighter than the 100 the power to weight ratio is a whole lot better and it outperforms the 100.

They are exactly the same motor except for the extra turbo and probably the state of tune, something that is beyond my mechanical knowledge.
