Default Zt 190....

So I've had my 1.8t for 18 months now and I'm considering swapping for a 190. Is there really that much of a noticeable difference in the two?

What difference are you looking for?

If it's power, the 1.8T is just a remap away from greatness.
If it's just a refined, lazy drive, I've heard the 2.5V6 is the one.

I see your car is over 200bhp, but our Raptor ain't no slouch either...

I've no doubt the V6 is nippy, a turbo engine just get's up to speed a little easier

Yes, more road tax, less MPG, less boost and 1.8t easier to live with costs wise / parts etc

But it doesnt sound as good.

Turbo kv6 anyone?
