I think carbon build is more likely to be an issue with direct injection engines. The engine in the pre-facelift Polo GTI (2.0 EA888 Gen3b) has port injectors to wash the backs of the valves with fuel vapour to help minimise carbon build up (don’t know if the facelift GTI ...

leaking water pump and thermostat housing; this is a fairly common issue with the 2.0 litre version of VW’s EA888 engine fitted by VW in the mk7 / mk7.5 Golf GTI. I can’t be certain but I seem to remember think there might be one or two posts on the forum where ...

According to a post I have memory of I should be looking for 63 to 76mm exhaust.
I have seen some performance exhaust for 2.0L sizing at 76mm.
Should be enough for ~300hp.

Maybe EA888 engines have the same turbo placement and flange size so I could fit a 1.8L - 2.0L exhaust downpipe.

EA888 (and few others) are very prone to water pump/thermostat leak. I am personally dealing with one, right now. :D 6 years and 80K km. Not cheap repair that is for sure.

What a wonderful and clever design, lets just make plastic housing, put it right on hot engine and torque the bolts to 9Nm ...
