TSI GTI to TSI Sportwagen

[MKV Aaron]

The MKV sportwagen debuted in 2009 and was avialable in all 3 engines (2.5, 2.0T and TDI). The 2.0T was dropped for the 2010 MKVI sportwagen (which we know was just a refreshed MKV) leaving just the 2.5 and TDI engines.

So in actuality, it could have been any of the 3 engines.

Just to add to what MKV Aaron stated above the 2.0T was ONLY offered in the SEL trim which was at the top of the product offering which is why VW didn't sell many '09s with the 2.0T.

They are sort of a rare bird. I've been looking for the "right" one for several months and at any given time there are only 10-15 for sale across the entire country. :wink:

The DP will for sure fit. Cat back probably not. Amped to see this. Sell the cat back and get a custom set up.

Me too!!! From my research I'm 99.9999% sure a CB from a GLI/Jetta should fit the Sportwagen. IF that's the case my plan is to sell the EuroJet CB I have on the GTI and buy the EuroJet GLI CB to mate up to my EJ DP.

I made an offer on a Wagen today hopefully this will happen sooner than later.....stay tuned :happyanim:

I'm lucky. I picked up a used 6MT that I bought before I ever saw it. Full story of mine is on Vortex in the JSW thread. Project Storm Trooper...

A 2.0t JSW will take a MK V 2.0t exhaust. The EA888 engine is awesome in the JSW. The JSW isn't much heavier than a Jetta (~80#) and the weight is in back where it's best placed. The JSW SEL isn't a full GTI/GLI, but most anything that's missing can be added on. This is also one of the few times I can think of where the US market got the best version of a particular model.

Hope this works out for you. It's a great car and you should really enjoy it.

Mind posting a link to said thread? Sounds like a nice car.

I know the downpipe will mate up fine, but more specifically my question is will the GLI catback fit the JSW? I have a Eurojet turbo back on my GTI now so ideally I'd like to just sell the catback and buy the Eurojet GLI catback for the JSW. :wink:

JSW 2.0T FTW!!!

If all goes to plan I should have this little jewel sitting in my garage in a week or so. :happyanim: Just have to wait on it to ship across the country. Fingers crossed that it looks as good in person as it does in the pictures.

Looks great! Love it with the Thunderbunny bumper. Definitely looks more aggressive than your average JSW.

Personally I would trade the thunder bunny front for a GTI front/ jetta front, either way excited to see where this goes

I think it'd look amazing with a slight drop and some MKV .:R32 wheels for a clean OEM+ look.

You read my mind :thumbsup: Probably going to go with set of STs or a cup kit. Still haven't decided on wheels yet. I think a set of the ED35 wheels would look nice against the Reflex Silver.

CAT-Back

... ideally I'd like to just sell the catback and buy the Eurojet GLI catback for the JSW. :wink:

The '09 Jetta and the '09 JSW take the same catback. Even the later JSWs take the catbacks from the appropriate corresponding MK V Jetta. (e.g. an '09 2.5 Jetta sedan catback fits on a 2012 2.5 JSW)
