Anyone else waiting for this unit? Will make 600 at the tire and cost less than the Pure 800 by a measurable amount. I'm gonna run one with a Dorch S3 and upgraded lpfp for e85 setup.

What will you do with 600whp?

when was that? What they have now isn't really worth over 425 whp, but this F55 will be a full on hybrid with cast turbofold so very nice and it comes with a huge custom inlet pipe.

Yeah, super serious. What are you going to do with all of that on this platform? Just seems excessive...But more power (haha) to you.

the platform can handle it easily with my big brakes and coilovers. 600 is a sweet spot for the chassis. I'll be thinking of adding a cage and serious rubber on my 19's. Rear subframe bushings and ltd slip will be a must. 90% of the time i'll just be running 95 octane and high 400's at the tire.

Not sure I understand the question's premise.

Are you waiting for the product's release? Is your own decision to wait based on if others are waiting?

Do you work for Shuenk and are trying to spread the word of its development?

yes waiting for release they should be posting pics soon if the turbofold and housings. I don't work for them just follow them and love their VW stuff.

They prob would get them out sooner than later if there was more interest.

The sweet spot for these motors is 500-550whp. Anything over that and you will sacrifice reliability. Not saying those numbers can not be achieved but the N55 motor is just not reliable past 550whp.

Good luck with your build!

I'd be more worried about the transmission (manual or auto) at anything over 600rwtq...

I'm well aware of the sweet spot without the flat deck. I'll reliably run 600 at the tire for a long time as it will only be set on kill mode 5% of the time. I'll be running 95 oct all the time and save the e85 for special occasions.

If my 6 speed goes i'll rebuild it and cryogen treat all the gears with carbon fiber syncros. I've been through it all before with my tremec t-56 in my turbo camaro. Almost hope it blows so I can upgrade it.

I’m not sure on this since I don’t have a manual, but I heard that there’s no rebuild parts available for the transmission in this platform.

i can see that with everything going pdk. 600 isn't that much power the trans should hold fine with a strong clutch. i'm not gonna drag race the thing. The M cars must share the same manual transmission however?

[mike@x-ph.com]

Has the product been released yet? I remember they were working on an N54 turbo and it went on forever. Im not sure if it ever got released

There's three it seems. The Shuenk supercore ~stage 1+, n55+ looks to be right around PS2 levels, and the F55 is a full frame turbo so BB, Doc race etc. Technically Stage 3. However the Frankenturbo/Shuenk owner hates naming things with "Stages"
