Our in depth guide to the 1.4 TFSi or 1.4 TSi engine from the VAG group. The EA211 is a fantastic engine and offers good power and economy. The earlier EA111 Initially offered with a choice of two engines, a 2.0-litre TDI diesel unit and a 1.4 TSI petrol engine, Volkswagen is expecting the oil burning powerplant to be its best seller. However, it's the 1.4 petrol unit that is the real surprise, thanks to the firm's TSI technology. The 1.4 TSI engine has a broad spread of power, with peak torque coming at just 1500rpm and then pulling smoothly all the way to the redline. Admittedly, this is a warm rather than hot hatch, but I agree it's a but dull in stock, but become a sporty and economic engine with a tune. Yes. It pairs best with the 5spd manual. Good fuel economy and reliability as long as you stick to the maintenance schedule, no skimping. Not fast but but can be made less slow with a tune for $300. Engine a little coarse when worked hard though claimed economy is surprisingly good at 57.6mpg. The 1.4 TSI 150 petrol is a bit of a sweet spot in the range, offering a notable step up in In 'warm hatch' terms, the Polo BlueGT is that car, delivering around 40 horsepower less than the full-fat GTI. The heart of the BlueGT is an advanced 1.4-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine boasting turbo and supercharging - the latter for low down acceleration and the former to provide a large slice of top-end thrust. OHMuh. The 2.0-liter TSI is unchanged from the facelift, which means 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet (350 Nm) of torque on full song. 1 This Is the Damage Endured by an Engine After a 100-Shot of Good value Octavia gets facelift and new turbocharged 1.4 TSI. This is the facelifted Skoda Octavia, which gets a turbocharged 122bhp 1.4-litre TSI engine for the first time.

It might be worth taking a Leon for a test drive with some ballast (passengers) to give you an idea. Best reasonable performance mods that are available for the 1.4 are intake, downpipe, and tune. If you want better shifting feel there are also a couple short shifters and engine mounts/inserts available. Those basic mods will run you about $1500 and your car will be marginally faster and a little more fun to drive. This is backed up by various dyno runs (on the web) of these engines before remaps where it shows the 140PS (138BHP) cars running 154+BHP stock.
