Hello,
What is the difference between these two engines if anything? Thanks.

Here are the key modifications the 3.0T EVO aka CREC comes with:

- A much heavier and bigger supercharger with a magnetic clutch
- A higher engine internal pressure
- Lower-tension piston rings prone to failure
- A deleted crankcase ventilation (breather hose) on bank 1 leading to excessive oil consumption and exhaust valve failure
- The addition of port injection (MPI) to direct injection (FSI) which makes it a much more complicated setup of 12 injectors instead of 6 and 4 fuel rails instead of 2.
- The relocation of the oil cooler to the back of the engine which makes it difficult to service
- The fusion of the oil filter housing to the block which is maybe the only good idea on this list

In short, a more complicated engine with many flaws but with the same power as the older 3.0T.
