My Wrangler 2.0 is still hasn't been delivered, but I'm driving a 2013 VW Tiguan with the 2.0 TSI... (direct injection, turbo, etc) Mine is stage 1 with 161K miles and still drives beautifully. I have never had the carbon cleaned, but 80% of my miles is highway, and I do get near the redline several times a week (Italian tune-up). VW recommends oil changes every 10K, but this engine has had timing tensioner problems, and most seem to happen when people go 10K between oil changes... so I change mine every 7,500 miles. Now that it's high mileage, I change it every 5k. And always full synthetic VW approved... I never skimp on the fluids. I have run a can of Seafoam through it, but honestly, not sure how much it helps things.
Main thing is, follow your manual, or do things sooner. Change all fluids. Don't cheap out... and redline occationally (safely of course)... basically, take care of it. My VW can easily last another 100k miles.
