spliff1star:
Is the 2.0 tsi turbo any good? Is it better than the 2.0 fsi turbo?
Reason I say this is because the r20 is using the fsi unit and not the newer tsi unit

vRS Carl:
I read somewhere (will see if i can find it) that the reason they are using the FSi rather than TSi is that the FSi responds better to tuning than the TSi so they were able to get the power they wanted without making "major" changes to the Engine.

Carl :happy2:

KRL:
It was probably less costly to use the FSI and K04 as it is already a proven product with the S3 and ED30 etc.  Mating a K04 to the TSI would have meant a lot more development costs.

it shouldnt really, well it does and it doesnt.  The tsi doesnt have alot of the same design flaws as the tfsi.

The bean counters just won that battle.

So the new R doesnt have the cam chain then?
