It may sound a bit weird but would one of the Scirocco R owners go out to there cars, open up the bonnet and take a picture of the engine bay for me...
VW is badging the engine that goes into the golf and scirocco R as a TSI engine.
Currently this has predominantly referred to an EA888 engine as the old EA113 engines where called FSI and TFSI.
I'm still 100% certain that this is the same belt driven engine that is present in the current S3 but i'd just like to see a picture anyways
please
cheers
thanks for that chaps!
the engine cover is HUGE comparde to my ickle 1.4's one...
wonder if/when they'll replace with highest performance version of the EA113 2.0TFSI (engine code CDA) with a EA888 version...
Options: -Adaptive chassis control -Bluetooth interface+voice control -Multi-function steering wheel with control for gear shift -Panorama tilting sunroof -Park distance control -Sports package -Tire pressure -Smoking package
One more question can we replace the scirocco 2.0tsi engine cover with this one? I think it would be a cool mod to do, cause it looks scary as hell ......
no you can't as we've tried, if you are going to be running a proper intake and associated pipework (carbonio will) you will need to ditch this or modify it, its nothing new as engine has been around 4 years now

It is tweaked though, won't need the fuel pump upgrades of the previous version. Few other minor tweaks aswell i'm led to believe.

Glup, you sure ?
So were talking 350+ bhp from a turbo back exhaust high flow cats(decats cheaper ) exhaust and intake ? awesome news if it is saved me £733.20 on a fuel pump + fitting

Yeah prety sure, it was a known weak point on the previous engine, so they fixed it as far as i am aware.
Not got the part catalogues offshore with me though.

hehe because i've not really looked into fuel pumps yet:P was leaving that for a while but good to know they are cheaper. Coming from a MKV R32 im amazed by how little it costs to get extra horses out of my new car and having a higher spec fuel pump to the mix just makes it better.
Andy do you have any more info on the fuel pump ? will its capacity be as good as a Autoch or APR pump ?
