The 135, 150 & 175 are all 2.5 litre V6 blocks, but the 175 is physically different (I'm not sure to what degree), so it isn't simply a matter of changing the ECU to convert a 135/150 to 175hp. I'm not sure what, if any, hp increase would be achieved by fitting a 175 ECU to a 135 or 150 Opti. If you lob your ECU in the post to me, I could give it a few test runs on the river to find out?
AFAIK, upgrading a 135 Opti to 150hp only involves an ECU swap, but the 135 lower unit has a different ratio to the 150, not that this has any bearing on horsepower.
