Hi!
I just bought a MY2010.5 TSI 2.0 GT with a DSG6 and specs says it has 200ps but a friend of mine that has quite a history with VW said that this motor has the wrong specs listed by VW and that it has been measured to 211ps.
Is this correct?

At launch the 2.0 TSI had the EA888 engine and had an output of 200PS (~197bhp). Although the power output is the same as the Golf MK5 GTI, the GTI used the older EA113. This can cause confusion.
From MY10.5 the output of the EA888 was upped to 210PS (~207bhp)
