I asked this in one of these threads, but in all the pictures of the new B8, I haven't seen one with the 2.0T.
At least I don't think I have. If there is a pict of a 2.0T, is there a FMIC?

I thought I read that the new B8 2.0T will turn the engine like the A3/GTI for the upcoming DSG trans. Does anyone have a pic of a B8 2.0T with FMIC?

Also, I recently read in one of my car mags that the B8 2.0T will have,
"an all new 2.0T". The little blurb suggests that the 2.0T will not be the current 2.0T we all love.
I've read in various places that the 2.0T B8 will have more hp and good bit more torque. Perhaps that's not just due to boost/mapping adjustments, but perhaps major engine changes.
It would make sense that if Audi gives more power to the 2.0T, they would do it with more robust internals rather than just ECU changes.

If the B8 2.0T is "all new" or significantly beefed up, that could bode well for a 2.0T that will respond even better to ECU upgrades. [:D]
Stock 227hp/240lb ft, and 280hp/340lb ft APR 93? And, 200lbs lighter?
