mk1 vts or mk2 vts engine?

Is there any difference between the mark1 VTS engine and the mark2 VTS engine and can you tell if they have been chipped. Mine is a mk 1 T Reg and my mate has just got a mk 2 02 Plate.

no engines are exactly the same in a mk1 and mk2 on the vts, it changed on the VTR

Is there any difference in power?

they are not the same, all new ecu and some other smaller differences.

Same power.

As i understand the were various minor tweaks made to the engine over the course of it's life. Although I am unsure of what tweaks these included they are likely to be some of the following:

Reliability (refined engine parts)
efficiency
smoother torque profile/minor increases in torque
emissions

Now im not saying these are massive improvements (or even noticable) but I suspect some of these will be better on the MK2 compared with a MK1
