Apologies in advance if this has been asked over and over but just not sure hoping y’all can help?

53039880146

The -146 turbo is the OEM N14 JCW turbo, the -298 is the OEM N18 JCW turbo. There were slight improvements made to the N18 version, which facilitated a new part number. You will get slightly better performance from the -298 version, but not much. Either will be a performance improvement over the OEM Cooper S turbo.
