Considering a Jetta - FSI or New TSI?

:I wasnt sure if it had a 2.0t and i was too used to the revo tune in mine cos the Tsi was so unexciting that even my wife said it felt so much slower then our car"Stock".

Not surprising, really.
The TSI will _always_ be slower than a 2.0 turbo (stock OR modified).
And a revo tuned 2.0 turbo would EAT a standard TSI for breakfast

His sig implies he has a NA 2.0 with a Revo tune

Even so, I can't see an ECU tune on an otherwise stock ~110kw NA engine releasing much more than 10kw and that would be higher up in the rev range.

No matter which way you cut it, I think the 1.4 dual huffer would still be a quicker car than a slightly modified 2.0 naturally aspirated because it would get off the line quicker with the better low down torque.

Didn't notice that

Yes, true. The torque of the TSI off the line is something to see!

The TSI produces 20% more torque than the normally aspirated 2L FSI 4-cyl.. It also churns out 167 hp at 6,000 rpm, compared with 147 hp from the 2L.

The Golf GT does 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.9 seconds, significantly better than the 8.8-second time for the Golf with the 2L FSI.

You'd need some fancy chip to out-do that.

Are you referring to my sig or somebody elses???
Back in the old days of 2007, fsi was the 2.0 Turbo...lol

The 2007 Turbo Jettas were badged as 2.0 FSI,but they were actually TFSI models,later called 2.0 TSI.
The non turbo Jetta is actually the 2.o FSI,with identical engine to the 2.O FSI GOLF,in Comfortline ,Sportline,and Edition models.
The diesel has always been called the 2.0TDI,and the new for 2009 model is the 1.4 TSI.
It is a little bit confusing.
