don't know if you guys have seen this or not. Gives a pretty comprehensive breakdown of how the new 3rd gen EA888 1.8 was designed:

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Wish I had read this before I fitted my Multigauge to the 6C about 15 months ago. Seeing the temperature gauge go as high as 107 C was a bit of a shock, phoned the dealership who were clueless as usual, advising if no warning lights don't worry.2015 Polo GTI with DA pack : Milltek Turbo back exhaust | DD spacer | JB1 | VWR Turbo Intake elbow and intake hose | BMC panel filter | KW Street Comfort coilovers | Whiteline adjust. endlinks | Harding DSG Perf. tune | Wagner Intercooler| Dotz Mugello 17 x 8 32ETComment

Yeah more of the new tech engines are running their cooling this way with the exhaust 'manifold' cast inside the head. One that springs to mind is the ford 1.0L turbo ecoboost. Initially I thought it to be a great idea for keeping the exhaust temps low in the runners. It sounds like water cooled runners, but I wonder now if its less about that and more about using the temperature they generate to regulate the engines temp more accurately. ie get it up to temp very quickly and run it hot = good for emissions and consumption. I certainly wouldn't be shutting it down hot after a fang without a good cool down phase. Very compact turbo fitment wise but it makes getting the 'exhaust manifold' upgraded a bit more of a job considering that the head has to be off the car essentially for a massive port/runner job. Going to another turbo would only need an adapter plate onto the head though rather than a whole custom or aftermarket external manifold though. The other thing that surprised me was the bore spacing and block thickness. Its crazy what they can do now.Comment
