Scirocco 2.0 tsi

[ge0rge]

Is this engine the 2.0 turbo or is it, as the sales man @ bridgewater vw says, a 2.0 supercharged & turbo charged 2.0? I know tsi sort of suggests its a turbo supercharged injection but, ive been led to believe that its a 2.0 turbo - same as in the mk5 gti and later in 210 ps form as per the gti..

I always thought it was just a 2.0 turbo and that the turbo supercharged lark was put in the smaller engined 1.4?

I think there is a 1.4 and a 1.6 Tsi now (but both engines might not be offered in the scrog). ASAIK the 2.0 is the same as the Golf - just a turbo. Pretty nippy still.

Most probable that the salesman got confused.

2.0 is a straightforward Turbo whereas the 1.4 TSI is a Turbo and Supercharger

Thought as much ! Really wish they hadnt introduced the 1.4 to the model to be honest !

TSI doesn't stand for anything in partuclar anymore - it is merely a brand name for forced-induction with direct injection.

The TSI badging is used for both the twincharged petrols and turbocharged petrols. Only the 140-180PS 1.4 units are twincharged, the rest are just simply turbocharged with no supercharger.
