MK5 1.2 TSi
- Thread starter VRSLOZ
- Start date
I was thinking EXACTLY the same!! If they do I should think they will replace the 1.6 petrol sport version. Want to see what MPG they will achieve and what performance gains could be had with a Revo/remap
1.6 in the Leon is the worst car/engine combination i have ever come across, simply awful.

The 1.2TSI in the ST is approx. £1300 more than the 1.4! Take for example the current cost of the 1.6 upgrade from the 1.4 on the SC which is only £600, should make the 1.2TSI SC around £12900 which still makes it cheap compared with the Polo SEL 1.2TSI @ £14700
I'd assume the car will also come with a 6spd manual, and should be easier to drive than my 1.6, as it has more torque. Tuning potential it should be good for 130BHP I'd guess. The engine isn't supercharged, so far as I'm aware.
Definitely wish this engine was available when I'd ordered mine, if only for the lacklustre fuel economy of the 1.6. Hell, even Skoda blagged this engine before SEAT!

Surely it is supercharged, that's what the S in TSi stands for?
I should think a DSG version will be on the cards

Not necessarily - the VW tech page describes a TSI as the following:
Direct petrol injection with charging. Direct petrol injection is combined with a turbocharger or with a turbocharger and a supercharger working in tandem. This enhances the engine's combustion efficiency so the TSI engine power output is much higher than that of conventional, naturally aspirated engines.
Since it's not a performance engine I'd guess at there being no supercharger, it's probably the same on the 1.4TSI the Leon has, that's 125BHP, even though the supercharged version is good for over 200!

My original feeling was somewhere between 140-150BHP but wondered if the clutch/gearbox was good for it. Presumably on something originally intended to be 105bhp/175nm the clutch is going to be smaller and less durable. If this has been done I guess it must be tested and reliable, which makes it more impressive from such a small lump.
Oooooo I see, shame if that there won't be one on there. Will this not cause lag on the turbo? I'm also guessing the turbo is low pressure and won't cut in until around 3-3.5k RPM?
No it don't. The 1.4 and 2.0 turbo cars are also badged TSI. As above all it means is it's a turbo charged direct injection engine.
yeah will have just enough to give it a kick up the A*S. it'll be a pluckly little car, can imagine it being rather popular
VAGs petrol acronyms are all a bit messed up, seems you can have TSI, TFSI or FSI - I guess FSI engines don't have a turbo?
But whats the difference between TSI and TFSI.

sounds like that will be an awesome little engine...
looking forward to seeing gaines...150-160 bhp??????
