The engine combines the advantages of the fuel stratification ignition (FSI) combustion process with the benefits of exhaust gas turbochargers. The result is an extremely agile unit which offers high power, an exemplary torque curve and excellent performance with moderate fuel consumption -- all while meeting EU4 and ULEV 2 exhaust emissions regulations as well as the future on-board diagnostic provisions. The engine was recently introduced in the new Audi A3 Sportback, and is now available on the Audi A4, the Golf GTI and the Passat. BorgWarner Turbo Systems engineers worked closely with Audi in the development of the engine. The collaboration resulted in an innovative, integrated module that represents the further development of BorgWarner's K03 turbocharger. "The turbocharger on Audi's new FSI engine takes the best features of the K03 to the next level," said Lee Wilson, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "We optimized the design, integrated the functions and used high-grade materials to meet Audi's ambitious requirements for this advanced engine. The result has set a new standard by which all turbochargers will be measured." Auburn Hills, Michigan-based BorgWarner Inc.
