well if the rumours are true about VW scrapping the 1.4TSI engine, then don't be surprised to see a 1.8lt TSI with a twinscroll turbocharger onboard, with integrated wastegate control, billet compressor wheel etc etc. Check out BorgWarner EFR range of turbos.

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.

rumor i heard was they were scrapping the 3.2L engine from the R32, never heard anything about the 1.4 being scrapped?
I would highly doubt it the way things are going.2016 Golf R, APR Stage 1

Will be interesting to see if they do go ahead with it, typical i guess considering it probably costs twice as much to build as a 1.8t.. They did that with the mk6 golf, its design was cheaper to make than the mk5, automakers scrimping at every angle.2016 Golf R, APR Stage 1

I think a 1.6L turbo engine would probably replace it.

perhaps i'm being cynical but I read that and wonder about the long term durability of the 1.4tsi. Does VW know something else apart from immediate cost to build. The old 1.8t may lack sme character (in polo form anyway) but it's well proven.Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

Gone but not forgotten: 08 Polo GTI

the old 1.8T is obsolete and wont pass future emission standards. It's history.Originally posted by seangti View PostComment

Euro standards. VW don't build that engine (1.8 20V) anymore as far as I am aware.Originally posted by noone View Post
