125 bhp or 155 bhp ?

Postby topshelf » Mon Aug 20, 2018 8:49 am

nearly there for my purchase, is the 155 just a re mapped version of the 125 or does it have a few extra bits on the engine. how reliable is the 155 it is a genuine ford engine . got to choose between the 2 by weekend.

I’ve read they’re all pretty much similar but it’s basically mapping, don’t know how true that is?

All the same except for the map. I had my old 100ps remapped by Vantuner and it went like stink, Martyn said it was around 170-180BHP and it certainly felt it.

It isn't as offensive as that laundry/farts smell that appears when you first turn it on and a fight breaks out between you and your mrs :shock:
