According to the FAQ:
2001 Passat: AUG/AWM
Engine Code: AWM
Model Years: 2001-2005
Compression Ratio: 9.3:1
Horsepower (SAE Net): 170 @ 5900 RPM
Torque: 166 ft. lbs. @ 1950 RPM
ECU: Motronic ME7.1
DP Size: 50mm (1.97")
Turbo: K03s
OE Boost: .6 Bar (8.7psi)
What is VVT?
VCT or Variable Cam Timing. Synonymous with Variable Valve Timing. The VCT in later 1.8T's is simply for emissions purposes. It has only two states - normal and massive overlap. The overlap is used to draw exhaust gasses back into the cylinders at startup.

variable cam timing is what i was talking about.. yeah i def saw that info also in the FAQ. im also wondering its capabilities

As far as what?
Your not going to gain anything over a non VCT engine if thats what your asking. Its there for fuel economy.
Are you looking for wrist pin size?
Its just as capable as any other 1.8t out there. Unless theres something else your looking for?
