Remember - the XUD9TE is essentially a 110hp engine... It's that it was better than the 2.0 8v XSi at the time... They had to derate it... The XUD7TE was a 90hp engine also, but they couldn't sell it as such... Hence why only the Rover 200 has it at 90hp, they de-intercooled it and shoved it in the 205 as the 205 DTurbo so that it wasn't as powerful as the 405 XUD9TE...

The Bosch VE was originally specified for 110hp... They dropped it to 90hp and decided that the Lucas system was better, the 175bar injection wasn't needed so went for 135... Blah.
