they are completely different engines, the 225 runs different pistons, is twin intercooler, has lower compression head and will make about 270bhp with a remap, the 180 has one small intercooler, different head etc etc and will only make 225 ish bhp with a remap, not to mention one has a k03s turbo the other a ko4

180 can make more power according to Hans Dahlback.

Surely the 225 has the better basis for tuning?

no, the 150 is the only one that is not 4WD, the other 2 are both quattro. i had a 225 for a bit, was a nice car but a bit cramped and boring tbh, even with a remap!

Depends how crazy you are going with it, I suspect the Dahlback mods are not an exhaust and filter.

You'd think the bigger turbo, differant internals would be in the 225's favour. I suppose the turbo is just bolt on though.
