VW POLO 1.2 TSI

I am interested in the new Polo 1.2 TSI and have read your road test and watched the vidio. You write that the engine has a chain driven cam yet in the video you piont to a belt driven cam. Which is correct?

Also, do you think that tuning a small engine to produce such power will compromise longivity and or reliabitity
