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.
