Minor nit; turbocharged, not supercharged.

It's both, actually. The TSI engine is named after its main novel feature: Twincharged Stratified Injection. The supercharger is connected to the crank via a clutch and gets disconnected at high RPM.

TSI standards for turbocharged stratified injection, not twin.

Neither the 1.0 EA211 or the 1.2 EA111 are twin-charged. The 2005 1.4 EA111 was however twin-charged and was replaced in 2012 with the newer 1.4 EA211 turbocharged engine. This has now become the 1.5 EA211.
