I know it's all speculation, but if it's true, does this mean the Polo GTI?
With the advances in variable stator turbochargers that have not been adopted widely as yet in the performance car sector, they can create a cracker of an engine platform with a slightly larger engine + variable stator turbo combo.

I've seen nothing but issues with twin-charged engines after a year or two (sometimes less).

1.8L Polo Turbocharaged GTI.... mmmm sounds good bro.
