It's simple!
147 with 2.0 ts are only less than 5% of the total number of 147 sold, so it
would be very expensive to adapt the car for a kind of engine which could be
rarely sell...
In my humble opinion...

I hadn't thought of that. I would have thought that the block etc
would be the same on the TS & JTS, with only a different head?

It is not very expensive to fit the engine and get it work. It is the
regulatory issues that cost too much.
