Stronger bottom end, more common head for parts, leaves me with another complete 2.1 to put in wife's car or sell, not done very often and why not. All of the above really.

xud7 inlets are the same as xud9 on the turbo engines, different on the N.A versions.
I have an xud9 inlet on mine at the moment.
