It's the stock engine of the 150 HP car, not the one in the PT GT, that was reworked for the added stress, the 180 HP engine wouldn't stand the boost that the 215 HP engine holds, that means, it's not the exact same engine though. Some components were stiffened.

That differs greatly from the info that 3barboost provided in this topic thread:

The 180bhp Turbo (Special Value Turbo internally) is essentially the same as the GT, but calibrated to run on 87 Pump octane. You don't get the upgraded brakes, wheels or suspension - and you're stuck with an automatic trans. It's a good intermediate step from the base engine to the GT - if you like automatics.
