VWG 1.4 TSI DSG

Can you tell me which models across the group got the higher powered engine/gearbox combination? I want to change a 105PS TDI Golf Plus and want more room - I can only find Fabia VRs estate and Touran...? Any other manufacturers/models worth considering would be really appreciated - chain drive cam, autobox essential, 10k pa.

The 1.2 TSI 105 seems okay as does the 1.4 TSI 122. The 1.8 TSI 150, 160 and 170 also seem okay. The 1.4 TSI 140, 150, 160 and 180 can have problems.
