On a VW/Seat/Skoda TSi stands for Turbo Stratified Injection. The exact identical engine in an Audi gets a TFSI badge which stands for Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection. Guess most of the idiots who pay more for an Audi think they are getting a different better engine. Once read an article about an Audi driver who tried to reject his new Audi because the TSi engine was made by Skoda, what a total ar5e.
Had TSi engine in a Seat Leon for almost 4 years and now have the same engine in a Skoda Superb. They are simply brilliant. Loads of power/torque, little turbo lag (none if you keep the revs above 2000), excellent flexibility and incredible fuel consumption.
The VAG engines with a turbo and a supercharger were known as dual charged and were troublesome so avoid.
Had no problems with my TSi engines so buy and enjoy.
