I'm sorry, but you've got it all wrong.  The first time a 1.8T was offered

in a Passat in the US was in 1998, and it had 150 hp.  And it wasn't made
in 
Mexico either.

The only engine that I can think of that had around 130 hp (134 to be
exact) 
was a 2-liter non-turbo one offered back in 1990 on the Passat.
