Stratified Injection perhaps, as opposed to the more common port (homogeneous) injection.

My NA 2.0L 8v Mk3 Golf is faster than my 174kw twin turbo Supra. V8 utes and over modified Skylines hate being overtaken by old Golfs

I thought FSI was Fuel Stoichiometric Injection.

plus S3 figures is based on manual...so you can safely say DSG will be quicker too...Slight performance increase ????? Mate, it should be a huge performance increase .... MK5 GTI 0-100km/h 7s (averaged DSG & man) R20T 0-100km.h 5.7s (using S3 figures which is less powerful)
And I agree Mk3 is better looking than Mk5

I'm not sure it will be. When the DSG first came out all the specs said it was quicker, better fuel consumption, lower CO2 etc. But now for the MK6 the DSG offers only the same or slightly worse acceleration, worse fuel consumption and worse CO2.
The UK specs for the GTI for example are:
6.9sec 0-62mph, 7.3 L/100km, 170g/km
6.9sec 0-62mph, 7.4 L/100km, 173g/km

I googled it and it is Fuel Stratified Injection but it was called Fuel Stoichiometric Injection in The Netherlands when it was first released there as not to be confused with something Mitsubishi was marketing at the time.
Stratified means ranked or graded into the area of distribution.
Stoichiometric means the correct ratio between 2 chemicals.
what enlightening fun!

Not necessarily..... VW have always made big performance noises about DSG being quicker than a manual. And it does change gears quicker than a manual and in VW's tests .... starting the clock when the car starts moving it has been quicker ....
HOWEVER when VW took the press to a drag strip to "prove" their claims the manuals beat the DSGs over the qrtr every single time ........(I can provide a link to the press report on this)
That bit of lag (and the press still reports on this in every test and I experienced it on a recent testdrive of the Q5) of a DSG upon pull-off when the lights turn green means the manual is gone ......
SO timed against the clock from when movement starts ... yes a DSG is quicker
BUT timed on a drag strip, the manuals still beat the DSGs .... PROVIDED the driver knows what he is doing as the DSG allows even tools to shift quickly
Either way, I'm comfortable that the R20T/whatever will do it in a time around 5.7s ...

FSI = Direct Injection normally aspirated.
TSI = the new range of turbo, turbo+supercharged engines.
