   I think its something to do with the CAT being in the manifold for a MK2 and its in the exhaust for the MK1 which restricts the air flow giving it less power.
   
   MK1 - 90bhp
   Mk2 - 98bhp

   There where a few in the 90s, but they where pretty much fineshed by then.

   the differences are all in the head inlet and exhausts
   one has a roller type one is non roller
   they also run different inlets and ecus and the obviouse cat differences

    the old models 1.1's etc are single point injection
    everything else is multi point
    
    
    the mk2's had revised manifolds both intake and exhaust
    which is where the 8bhp came from
