Considering the 2ZZ-GE came in far FEWER vehicles than any 1.8T motor ever could I would say yes the tuning potential of the 1.8T is by far greater than any Toyota engine ever could be (even the 4A-GE).
We have cranked out over 600whp out of a 1.8T with no issues...

225bhp Audi TT motor is cast using a different block and internals.Some users have taken the stock internals to 440hp with no issues.Stock VW/Audi 1.8T block found in the more common chassis will take 300whp/380hp without needing connecting rod changes.

It is iron block yes but the block itself weighs 42 lbs more than the aluminum counter parts.
