The term used to refer to Volkwagen/Audi's 1.8 litre turbocharged gasoline engine. Features of the engine include:
-a cast iron cylinder block
-aluminum valve cover, oil pan, and crossflow intake
-dual overhead camshafts or DOHC (later revisions included a variable valve timing feature for performance/emissions control)
-5 valves per cylinder, three inlet and two exhaust
-individual ignition coils for each cylinder (no distributor)
-Sequential fuel injection
-drive-by-wire throttle control system
The engine came in several revisions:
transverse: AWD, AWW, AWP, APH/AVC , AWV, ATC, AGU, ARZ, AVJ, AUM, ARX, AWC, BJX, AJH, AQX, AYP, BVP, AJQ, APP, AUQ/ARY, BBU, BVR, APY, AMK, APX, BAM, BFV(240hp)
longitudinal: AMU, BEA, AEB, APU, AWT, BFB, AJL, BEX,
The fact that the engine was originally designed with the use of a turbocharger makes it very compliant to the introduction of higher flow aftermarket turbochargers and high boost with increased fueling. Simple software tuning can increase the engine output to 200+bhp and 250+lb.-ft. of torque. Changes to engine hardware can have the 1.8T engine producing over 300hp.

The cast iron cylinder block along with native forced induction and high compression ratio (9.5:1 stock) allow the 1.8T to produce high output from limited combustion volume.

Get the 1/8th Jewish mug.New York 1/8th
A New York 1/8th refers to a common measurement for marijuana in NYC, particularly in the pre-legalization era of the mid-2000s. While an eighth (1/8th of an ounce) is traditionally 3.5 grams, in New York City, it was widely accepted that an "eighth" usually meant 3.0 grams—a well-known but rarely contested shorting of weight.
This was an open secret among buyers and sellers, a subtle nod to the city's hustle culture. Rather than being seen as a ripoff, it became an inside joke—a shared understanding between both parties that the NYC market had its own rules. Over time, the term evolved beyond just weed and is now used to describe any situation where someone knowingly accepts a slight shortcoming with a sense of pride and humor.
Whether you're reminiscing about pre-legalization pickups or recognizing a familiar NYC-style short, the New York 1/8th is a term of endearment, not a complaint.
