Dont believe that economy for a moment.
+1. That's because it's a fragrant lie. Unless the petrol is supplemented by magic beans, no car producing that torque will burn so little fuel. Driving my Evo 6 off boost I could get close to 28mpg on a run.
I dont get high 40's on a run out of my 1.4 TSI

What, one man designs the whole engine? No team of designers contributing their from individual areas of expertise and highlighting potential problems that one person on their own may miss? No wonder it's so unreliable.
1. He heads the team and was brought to VAG specifically to work on a high-output version of the engine in question. 2. Provide evidence that it is "unreliable." In the post I quoted, the key word in context was "guess."

No drop in reliability on UK fuel, in UK environmental conditions, with very lenient emissions regulations, NVH & power delivery requirments etc.... Although it clearly holds together, and I would tune one the same if it was mine, a large manufacturer simply couldn't get away with it.
Plenty of examples running this stage 1 tune (280 bhp) for over 100000 miles. and some I know over 200k miles. I'm pretty sure some still pass emissions tests but I couldn't swear by that.Passing emissions tests at an MOT is a bit different to meeting EURO 6.

I have no doubt in your claims, but as I said - a large manufacturer simply couldn't get away with that for many reasons your vehicle wouldn't be affected by.

Indeed. Plus, tolerances have to be made for numpties owning and driving them.Passing emissions tests at an MOT is a bit different to meeting EURO 6.
