The 24v PRV, on paper, at least, chucks out an extra 3 bhp than the 
25 turbo, but it is DOHC and from my experience move valves tends to 
mean smoother excelleration and top end grunt.

You can find them in some Peugeot 806 people carriers but they are 
still a bit pricy.

Judging from the number of 24V petrol 806's models availible 
compared  to diesels I guess the petrol was not 1st choice.

Best to find one in a scrappy that has been rear ended and written 
off.

The 604 also had the 24v 3 ltr PRV as an engine option, but again not 
many around 2nd hand.
