I'd imagine a change to Direct Injection will require a change to the heads.

Why would emissions compliance be difficult to retain? If, through optimised combustion the efficiency of the engine is improved, why would emissions increase?

What other engine has had its emissions increase as a result of Direct Injection being incorporated?
