[Ovmsdev] Sport vs Non-Sport in VIN

[Tom Saxton]

Is there any internal difference between a 2.0 and a 2.5?

I don't think I've heard anything other than improving something with the
fans that cool the motor and the PEM.

In the US, VINs >= 964 are 2.5, but then there are the 2.0's that got the
2.5 facelift.
