first off 15bhp differance (or 18bhp depends where u read it)
iv gotta 1.8 running bout 160bhp and the shitty ib5 box gave up and went bang. dnt know if this was just my bad luck but dnt hear gd things about em.
mtx75 on the 2.0 is stronger and ur'll always be 15bhp up on the 1.8.
if i had the choice again id get a 2.0.
problems iv had are egr valve and vss (common fault) both packed up, other than that it gets abused everday and all is gd.
p.s NA tuning gets boring so thats y im building a 2.1 turbo zetec!!

go with 2.0 - stronger gearbox, more power, more parts (US)
