Starting from the excellent base and with the recent block 2.0 TFSi, which unfortunately is not part of the Jetta range in Portugal, FMS decided to operate, which would perhaps be unthinkable to see in a model of these characteristics. This FMS Volkswagen Jetta, has a partnership with APR, which is a company specialized in tuning German cars from the VW group for Uncle Sam's land, and as it could not be otherwise, it made perfect sense to lend a hand in the preparation of this Jetta . You'll understand why…

Mechanically, the FMS Volkswagen Jetta surprises us with the installation of the Stage 3 kit from APR + Turbo, but this is just the beginning because the internals were also modified. APR equipped the 2.0TFSi with forged connecting rods and pistons in order to extract even more power. To help the 2.0TFSi breathe better, the entire intake box is made of carbon together, with the direct intake filter and intercooler also different, being larger.
