Dude. DUDE.

Yeah, like someone else said, it's a single turbo. Three engine options:
4cyl 1.8 turbo 180hp - EXACT same powerplant as GTI, Jetta GLS
4cyl 1.8 turbo 225hp - same engine again with a bigger K04 turbo
6cyl 3.2 NA 250hp - EXACT same powerplant as Golf R32

The chassis, suspension, AWD system, brakes, all EXACTLY the same as the Golf R32. The base model TT is still front wheel drive with the 180hp engine and an automatic, all straight from the Jetta GLS. IT IS A GOLF/JETTA CHASSIS. Econobox roots to the core. They gave it the best engines, best suspensions, best brakes available, but it's still the same platform.

And now you see why making arbitrary distinctions between "sports car" and "economy car" is stupid.
