yep me too, i'm waiting for that 'special moment' where he says, "that's why a camaro can handle those power levels without long term failure because it is designed to do so, ergo it's better than a GTI"

False.
The TT-S uses the EA113 engine because it was already built, already has a turbocharger designed for it (the K04 does not fit on the TSI) and was already available on the shelf.

Which engine series - the EA113 or the EA888?
With all due respect, I think VW/Audi engineers know more about this than you do and they're altogether avoiding using EA888 engines in their high performance (anything over 227 HP factory rating) factory applications.
And as you know, there's more to an engine than rods...
And what about the OEM lubrication system? Is that capable of properly supplying cool oil in the quantities necessary to cope with the added loads and temperature than result from increased boost levels?

True or false:
VW/Audi does not specify the EA888 engine for ANY 2.0T application exceeding 155 KW (roughly 205 SAE NET HP).
True or false:
VW/Audi engineers specify the EA113 engine, fitted with a host of upgraded components, for all 2.0T applications exceeding 169 KW.

No disrespect Arin, he made a claim on fail mileage but your counter to his claim was the number of cars flashed. That's just a beautiful dodge to his statement.

ah, yet another reason you should take your gti back to the dealer and trade up for something: faster, lighter and better put together. I personally can't wait for my lease to be up so I can jump on something else. man, what a horrible little car this is.

As a student studying Automotive Engineering, I don't base my research off of Wikipedia articles.
Good. Now learn to Wiki, son.

clearly tons of people would be on these forums with snapped rods if the stage 1, or any of the stages for that matter, did damage to the engine... Arin didnt dodge the question, what hes saying is that after all the tunes APR has provided, people arent complaining bout snapped rods and blown pistons... let alone complaining about not getting high mileage out of their car.
well if it comes from wiki then it must be true..............look at the first sentence:lol:
edit: damn it got deleted
