Are they not the same engine as a normal GTi though?

The quality of the drive is a different class to an ST
  • Larger Turbo from S3 (K04) rather then the K03 on the GTI
  • 87°C thermostat instead of 80°C
  • Larger capacity fuel injectors (13% higher flow)
  • Larger intercooler (smaller then the S3)
  • Engine block main bearing caps, pedestals are reinforced
  • Conrods have larger rod bolts and new bearings
  • Pistons have 21mm gudgeon pins instead of 19mm
  • Piston top ring is improved
  • Recirculation Valve (blow off valve) not located on turbo
