Cylinder head
The cylinder head is also a modified carry-over part sourced from
VW's 2.5l R5 MPI engine. To withstand the higher stresses which
occur in a turbocharged FSI engine, it was necessary to make the
following modifications:
• Different aluminium casting alloy
• Lower-set water jacket around the spark plug
• Tempered exhaust valve seat rings
• Attachment of the high-pressure pump to the ladder frame
• Optimised exhaust cam contour
• Additional exhaust cam phaser
• The exhaust valves are sodium-filled for cooling
• Turbo-specfic intake port (to produce the required tumble air
flow in the combustion chamber)
