    badging

    ... and the change in badging is especially confusing when the TSI brochure on the VW web site describes the twin-charger (it is a 2007 brochure).

    Couldn't VW have explored the other 23 letters in the alphabet?

    TSI just means direct injection forced induction. it can be any kind or a mixture of.

    FSI just means direct injection.

    Reminds me of the Toyota Starlet GT, 1.3 Turbo, 101kW, Polo Size, 7 Second Car.

    Fella's - I had 5 x Golf VI's here today.

    Is easy to tell the difference:

    90kw TURBO ONLY the badge is TSI

    118KW TWINCHARGER the badge is TSI

    Guy, if you can't tell us what they were for, can you at least tell us which engine they were for, 90, 103, 118... so we make sure we can upgrade...
