Nope, it's not the 3.2l V6.  Wikipedia summarises it thusly:

The TT uses a transversely mounted internal combustion engine, with either
front-wheel drive, or 'quattro' on-demand four-wheel drive. It was first
available with a 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder 20-valve turbocharged
engine in two states of DIN-rated power outputs; 180 PS (132 kW; 178 hp)
and 225 PS (165 kW; 222 hp). The engines share the same fundamental design,
but the 225 PS version features a larger K04 turbocharger, an additional
intercooler on the left side (complementing the existing right-side
intercooler), forged connecting rods, a dual tailpipe exhaust, and a few
other internals – designed to accommodate the increase in turbo boost, from
roughly 10 pounds per square inch (0.7 bar) peak, to 15 pounds per square
inch (1.0 bar). Haldex Traction enabled four-wheel drive, 'branded' as
"quattro" was optional on the 180 engine, and standard on the more powerful
225 version.

Fun anyway!
