All that said if it wasn't for me seeing a twincharge engine on display at Sydney airport back in 2008, it's unlikely I would have a VW now. Reliable or not, I still adore it as an engineering feat, and remains my basis for future projects!

Check out the 6R Polo section for issues with the GTi which uses a tuned up version of the TwinCharger - compression loss and/or 2-stroke like oil consumption requiring pistons & rings or total engine replacement.
VW are ditching this design for good reasons.

The 1.8L 118TSI in the Passat is a different engine though?

Yes, it's not a twincharger.

I ditched my 118tsi as soon as the first engine was replaced. Paid 36k for it, got 18k back at year later. I'm probably lucky I only lost half it's value...

Aren't the 1.4 T engines in the new Golf a major overhaul on the 1.4T (90kw) in the current Golf range? So in effect none of the 1.4L engines of the MK6 made it to the MK7.
There is a new CTHE version of the twincharger engine for the Polo GTI/Fabia VRS coming out in Sept. So it is hardly dead yet.
If you are trying to strip weight from a car you are hardly going to stick the heavy twincharger engine in it for a 15kw benefit (over the 103kw 1.4T).

See the above post about Skoda's use of the TwinCharger..

I thought TSI stood for twin charger?

It would appear that the T in TSI can either stand for turbo(charged) or twincharger/twincharged, depending on the configuration.
