In a nutshell.... PSD is direct injected, vs. our IDIs are well... In-Direct-Injection.
To get more detailed than that you gots to talk to someone with more smarts than me. Im pretty sure they use the same bellhousing, and they have the same internal dimensions (stroke-bore), but they dont share any parts. Indeed they are completely different engines, just the same Cu/in

Pstokes are computer controlled and direct injected.......IDIs are all mechanical and indirect injected. The only similarities are the displacement and the fuel burned
