Jan 27, 2011 - wait so if i took the aw11 mr2 and install a turbo and pipe the sc to boost into the turbo intake would i lose power if i dont make some system like this. with the switch from sc and turbo back to turbo.

Mar 31, 2011 - @banstamen: Kill it i don't think so. May not be going to US but the twincharge is still going strong in VW, SEAT and Skoda cars.

Mar 31, 2011 - The engine is not being killed off. It's in the Golf, the SEAT Ibiza cupra and the Skoda Fabia RS.

Apr 28, 2011 - I think the Lancia Delta S4's system is a bit different, unlike TSI , the air intake will go through the turbocharger first before the supercharger. Plus, the Delta S4 engine utilized 'twin' intercoolers for both the turbocharger & the supercharger. Talking about ultimate power & response!

Jul 14, 2011 - Yet more needless bollocks.You can just imagine the headaches this lot will create,one bad electrical connection or sensor with an intermediate fault will have you running round in circles and the local service centre scratching their heads when the test gear tells them all is fine.That is until the intermediate fault happens again and it dies on you,usually in the middle of nowhere.When will they learn that simple is best and people want reliability,not novelty.

Aug 4, 2011 - so you'll be left without a supercharger is the magnetic sensor goes, o well car still goes. Or are you referring to something else? technology is the future. people said the same thing when fuel injection replaced carbs.

silver760 mowi:

Aug 4, 2011 - I not referring to just the supercharger,I'm referring to any electronic component in the car.Having worked in the motor industry for some considerable time I too have been plagued with such faults on customers cars and been to endless breakdowns,the intermediate electrical fault has been the bain of technicians since electronics appeared in cars! Electronics does not mix with water/oil/dirt etc and as said before it takes only one faulty connection or circuit board,simple=reliable.

Aug 16, 2011 - i agree , this modern system is over complicating everything which results in huge reliability issues. i know this from first hand but i'm with you on that they should bring back simplicity in engines again because this stuff is clearly not the ''future''.

Aug 20, 2011 - FSI ?

montey1017 mowi:

Sep 2, 2011 - smart design, they just need to put the turbo BEFORE the supercharger, so both can work at once, and be useful.

Oct 13, 2011 - hmmm, what about super and twin turbo charging?.... so much more complex pipeworks.

al3dx mowi:

Dec 21, 2011 - is there such a set up...? But why not use a supercharger with a Big Turbo... isn't it more better...?

Jan 15, 2012 - TSI TURBOCHARGER can use only petrol octane 98-100.

BadAssEngineering mowi:

Jan 31, 2012 - This engine is named wrong... TSI: Twincharger Stratified Injection refers to 2 equal charging components, since the Supercharger is totally diferent to the Turbo the engine should be Called DSI: DualCharger Stratified Injection. Like if you agree ( i know you do)

91MarioZ mowi:

Feb 13, 2012 - Actually supercharging and turbocharging an engine is called Twincharging... so the engine name is a-okay! And if a car has two of the same force inductors it will be call twin turbocharged or twin supercharged and NOT twincharged...

spenceCID mowi:

May 9, 2012 - I always wondered why they didn't use a more efficient screw supercharger. Though a roots supercharger is most efficient at low rpm and low boost. The supercharger on the TSI is only used at low rpm and boost. Brilliant.

chrwl007 mowi:

May 9, 2012 - That's odd. All the TSI engines I've heard of run perfectly fine on 95 octane at the coast.
