On the mk2 Cupra you could tell the differences between the FR and Cupra engines from the divertor valve position , are there any noticeable differences on the mk3 Cupra ? And say golf gti engine
That is one thing I did look at. Diverter valve on both engines, FR1.8 and Cupra2.0 are direct, bolted to the turbo. Not remote like the previous generation Cupra.
Couldn't see any physical size differences with the turbo either, but I would suspect the Cupra is a twin scroll or some other internal arrangement that differs to the FR.
I can equally assume there is likely to be head differences beneath the engine covers, for the larger displacement but as mine is effectively brand new and Scott's is only days old too, didn't seem fair to pull out the screwdriver and start looking.
