Hello first post so here goes.

I was doing some reading and i came across a new engine used in Euro market Golf's. I was a 1.3 liter supercharged and turbocharged direct-injection engine, I use the supercharger for lower end torque, then switched to a small turbo for the rest of the power band. It reportedly had 170 hp w/ 177 lbft of torque (maybe off on the torque #). with that it also turned in EPA of 38MPG. I wonder why VW wouldn’t bring this engine to the US. with gas prices as they are I would buy one. in the same story they made mention of a 1.2 and a 1.4 liter versions as well. 1.2 with 150 and the 1.4 with 190. personally I would like to see a larger 2.0 four with the same system with maybe 300 hp. anyway it seems like something that might help boost performance while keeping MPG down a bit
