yup, the new tsi engine, as opposed to the old tfsi engine.
its a marketting & sales tactic by VAG. they're not gonna let the octavia rs have the same power output as their key model - the golf gti.
it would hurt sales for the gti, not that the rs is any threat to the gti!!
same thing with the jetta - it too has the same engine as the gti, but is detuned down to 147kW, just like the rs.
