What is a TFSI...?

A man that truly spoke the words the public could not! He fought for his voters rights, and his party decided he was dangerous for their party! He should go it on his own, with like minded people who have the same passion for Australia and it’s people and are not wanting to get paid for doing nothing important! Good luck on your next path, whatever it may be!

I've got my BWA GTI for 9 years now and I could never enjoy it fully because it always had problems with air intake and lean mixture. It has a huge sentimental value for me as my father used to spend a lot of time and money to keep it in good conditions. Now that he's gone I'm not willing to part with my GTI anytime soon (despite of all the electric cars spawning everywhere), so it's time for me to make it awesome again and make it live a long life. Too bad I'm not an engine expert and the mechanics I know have lost the passion for tuning and really appreciate engines, they just seem to plug the CAN reader and do barely enough to make the engine light go away for a couple of weeks. I'm very happy to have found someone that explains so in depth what I'm driving around everyday, it makes me love my engine even more. Keep up with the good work!

The mk5 sold in N. America up to mid 2008 were designated FSI whereas the later ones produced till the mk6 came out were designated as TFSI (timing chain as opposed to the belt in earlier FSI mk5's). Surprised to learn that the FSI cannot run in stratified mode, despite the designation.

Crazy isn't it... all the same but badged differently. I dont know why they would bother.

When i got my mk6r about 12 months ago i was lucky enough to get a spare CDL complete motor with it. Old owner was told it was stuffed but after a decent inspection it was just a dodgy injector. The CDL thats currently in my mk6r is pretty much at its limit on the stock bottom end. G25-660 just shy of 400bhp on a safe tune. Ive got the spare motor stripped and at the machine shop to get the head and block decked as well as honed and align bored for billet mains. Will be fully forged. ARP studs and bolts. Worked head. Upgrading to either a G30-770 or G30-900. Still discussing that with my tuner. Ecu masters emu black ecu. Mabotech injectors and a IE intake plenum but plans are to switch to port injection later on with meth injection. Boot mounted surge tank. Full flex fuel setup. Stage 3 dsg cluch packs. Im chasing 700bhp. Its not a daily driven car mainly weekends and a bit of roll racing. Will he happy with a low 10sec 1/4 mile pass but im not to focused on drag times to be honest.

Since you can use the tfsi crank in the 1.8t,can you also use the cdl rods for a budget build?

They are 144mm just like 1.8t rods, so could be used... however they have a different wrist pin size so custom pistons would be needed. Sadly it would be that much work it would make more sense to just use forged rods.
