Hi all, nice site you have here loads of information... i did do a search before posting this but i couldn't seem to find the answer so any suggestions would be appreciated.
i'm looking to buy a Bora TDI but i'm not sure whether to get the 130 or the 150. The reason i ask is i will be getting it chipped as soon as i get it. The 130 will rise to 163 bhp with the torque going from 310 to 405 and the 150 version will rise to 182 bhp but the torque will only rise to 380.
Bear in mind i'm no mechanic but friends tell me the more torque the better... does this count in this situation even though the bhp is lower on the 130?
Generally i'm looking for a better performance car and generally quicker so please explain this to me in simple terms ;-)
