Is the FAST engine in the States FSI?

[Surfer_D]

I read some articles about the GTI 2.0T FSI not being used in the States? Also here in Europe FSI is not in function all the time (cpu controls it) it's up to the petrol quality and boost, but in the States you shouldn't based on the things I read even have this type of injection?

Can someone confirm this?

Well, considering my engine has "FSI" stamped right on top of it, I'm pretty sure FSI came to the U.S.

well you guys had FSI a couple years before us. We were stuck with the MKIV 1.8T GTI. but the MKV is the same 2.0T FSI you have

I am about 95% sure that the MKIV only came in the 1.8t. This FSI is new to us isn't it?

 

[earthtoandy]

yes, that is what I said. W eonly had the MKIV. they had the MKV with the 2.0T FSI a couple years before us

Same engine to be found in the A4 and A3.

Exactly the same as your engines. You guys gauge your petrol on a different scale then we do over here, our 93octane is pretty much the same as whatever your highest grade is. FSI is octane dependant, though, in the ammount of time that it stays active.

In the US we use RON+MON/2. In Europe they use only the RON test.
Thus, US fuel (California has lower 92 US octane) has about the same octane as most Euro fuel.
As you can see by the equation our octane number is the result of an average of the two testing methods of RON and MON, where RON always has a higher number.
