What does Scirocco TSI mean?
1 Answers
TSI is the abbreviation for TurboFSI, where T stands for Turbocharging, S represents Supercharging, and I denotes Stratified Injection. TSI is essentially FSI with turbocharging. Technically, TSI and FSI belong to the same family, sharing the same direct fuel injection principles. However, with the addition of forced induction technology, TSI is more advanced than FSI, representing a high-power, low-RPM high-torque engine. Engine: TSI is a turbocharged direct injection engine. More advanced than FSI, it belongs to the category of high-power, low-RPM high-torque engines. The direct injection system reduces thermal losses in the engine. Compared to conventional direct injection technology, TSI engines with turbochargers feature a more compact size, superior power performance, and fuel efficiency advantages. Introduction: The TSI engine, first introduced by the Volkswagen Group, stands out among 4-cylinder engines, incorporating the most advanced technology in Volkswagen's engine family. Like a badge, it is often seen on the rear of vehicles, with most brands under Volkswagen equipped with it. In imported Volkswagen models, the TSI lettering typically appears with dual red 'SI' fonts, indicating the use of a twin-charged TSI engine (both supercharged and turbocharged). Models with red 'SI' lettering represent the iconic Volkswagen Scirocco two-door coupe. Meanwhile, the Tiguan with a single red 'I' letter signifies a turbocharged-only TSI engine.
