All I know of the engine is that its the same as the Roc R. It may have the same engine as the ed30, but diff turbo's I would expect.

its the old gti engine with a few upgraded internals... plus the K04 turbo from the ed30. If your looking for more details on the engine then you would probably be better off looking up the S3 :wink:

The ED30 engine was the 'same' as the GTI engine with a bigger turbo (KO4 as opposed to normal GTI KO3s) and uprated internals.  This engine was also found in the Leon Cupra and the S3.  There are a few 'controversial' threads in the mk5 board over whether there was any difference between the S3 engine and ED30 engine or not and I don't think there was any conclusive evidence one way or the other.  Either way the difference, if any, was minor.

I believe this is the same engine thats going in the Golf R, albeit it may have some minor tweaks over the ED30 spec but yes, fundamentally its the same.

The new TSI engine in the mk6 GTI is quite different from the mk5 engine, though its easy to see it came from the same stable.

Some info from SEAT Leon Cupra R press release, main differences between the 240PS Cupra engine and the 265PS CupraR engine.

The most powerful in the range

The new engine on the CUPRA R is a development of the familiar 2.0 TSI. Its 265 hp comes from a different engine management set-up, as well as greater turbo pressure compared to the 240 hp engine: 1.9 bar at maximum output and 2.2 bar at maximum torque compared to the 1.8 bar of the 240 hp 2.0 TSI.

On both the 240 and 265 hp versions, the 2.0 TSI engine features a new, high-pressure fuel-injection pump and modified catalyst in order to comply with EU-5 emissions standards; the intercooler connection pipe is also different on both models – the 265 hp version including a higher-performance intercooler.
