Apart from the look of and the vvt obviously, what's the different between the normal Peugeot v6 engine and the v6 vvt engine? ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye 53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport

Assume most use the earlier one in a 306 due to it being cheaper to buy. ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye 53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport

Also the later engine has 4 cats which are more restrictive. People who have removed all 4 have experienced difficulties getting the engine to run correctly. Its got more Power and Torque though, all be it higher up the rev range.
