On my site there is a table that shows most of the engines that VW has
built. But to anser your question.
2.1L Wasserboxer = 90hp @ 5500 RPM - 117gt/lb @ 3200 RPM
2.0L inline four = 115hp @ 5200 RPM - 135ft/lb @ 2600 RPM
The stats for the Audi 2.0L are a little misleading as it is quite chocked
by the exhaust system with a simple exhaust like I am running it will bring
the system to or slightly better than the VW 2.0L found in the 93+ Golf and
Jetta.
