Also, I've seen a HDI advertised locally that is pushing 161 bhp with proof for 750....too good to be true? Thanks Ej
Hello and welcome to the forum.
As Matt says the HDi vs XUD is a huge argument but boils down to the points above and the HDi gets better, brakes suspension and interior.
Personally Im more of a HDi fan.
The insurance should be about the same as they were both in old group 5
Any chance of the link to that advert, would be interesting to see the car. the power level is possible with relatively simple mods (ive had a few at that level) but watch out for people getting dyno graphs off the internet and claiming thay are their own (check date, name, location and registration number on the graph)
All you need to take the hdi to 160bhp is an intercooler and a remap then a clutch to handle the power.
