Audi(VW) 2.0T 155kW Engine

[[Quattro]]

Wait a minute, I'm no car specialist but a 2002 MX-5 1.8L with a turbo charger produces 157 kW.... How is this that great? What am I missing?

Thats why

You made me Google.
No such car exists in the Euro market.

I also think the OP was referring to the power and drive of such an "average" size and spec engine...

Well, the one I was referring to was a special edition "MPS" version where they added a turbo.
The Japanese ones are a little bit more powerful than the Euro/US versions, which is the one I have.

Man, would just love to add a turbo in future, would make my power to weight insane...
