Good evening folks can anyone tell me if the engine in the thread title is the same engine used in a vw polo gti 1.8 tsi gti ?? Thanks
 
Think it’s the same engine but just tuned to be slower and more boring to drive than the polo, i’ve had the 1.8 for 4 years now but i’ve drove the polo gti 1.8 and it feels much faster than my a3, the polo pulls away better in 4th at 30mph than mines does in 3rd at 30pmh which was rather disappointing for me as i thought they would be just more or less the same as each other
