    EA888 engine.

    The TT-S still not uses the EA888 engine.
    The question is when will the new EA888 engine be introduced in the TT range.
    The new 211 hp 2.0TFSI EA888 engine is in use in the new A4.
    In the German forum there are also two official Audi mails that confirm that the TTS uses the EA888 engine block,
    but as we know that's not the case.

    Maybe a stupid question, but, what's the difference between those blocks...?

    The old one is belt driven and the new EA888 chain driven.
    The belt is on the end of the engine and the chain is @ the flywheel side of the engine.

    When talking about EA888 2.0TFSI i think the biggest change is, not that it got chain instead of belt, but that it got valvelift. There has also been a lot of other changes (internal and external friction minimization), and it feels like a totally different engine.

    Unfortunently the TTS engine is not derived from EA888 2.0TFSI (211ps).

    Dear Friends,

    the 2.0 TFSI (EA888) is replacing the 1.8 TFSI (EA888) as base engine in the A5 also-, starting from Model year 2009 (production >26.05.08). Main reason is the high demand for the 1.8 TFSI engine in other cars within the VW group, leading to even greater delayed delivery for the A5.

    The EA888 series will replace the EA113 within 2009. It is unsure if the TTS will also be upgraded, but it is mostlikely- with a power output raised to 220KW.

    220KW (300ps), now that's the kind of figure which I find interesting.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    There are two versions of the EA888. One that has the same numbers as the old 2.0T (200/207) and the Valvelift version (A4/A5/Q5 only so far) that gets 211/258 and better fuel economy.
