Any idea on how much weight, if any was saved from doing this swap?

600hp? Oh I see this engine is stock. I admit I didn't go through all the pages…

I thought with all the activity here it was a fully built and sleeved motor, larger bore, stronger rods etc with something like 2 GT30R's which are good for an easy 900 WHP and 2 GT35R's for example are good for about 1200whp.

Thats taking into account the bottom end is built. You will want some CNC ported heads, to help increase airflow and not to mention built trans. But, It's doable.

This is still pretty awesome and enough to run some serious numbers.

I am not sure, so don't quote me but....They did this build on a stock motor so it can be made as a kit for the people.....in the future, is when mega build will begin and show the ridiculously insane numbers..... Paul congrats the car looks awesome and good luck

Anyways, The car looks great, the fabwork is top notch… I'm stoked to see a TT E55 in action. GL to the talented people involved in this project!

Not sure how pressure would effect it, but I will say it is not abnormal to see these magnesium intakes degrade to the point of leaking simply from the natural environment.

we'll see. i really don't want to include a custom intake manifold in the kit because the cost of the kit will be so outrageous imo

well said. there has to be a balance.
in the future once you start producing I have a couple of intake manifolds from NA AMG 113 cars that got a kleemann SC kit, I am sure you will need them

so far very impressive results!

Strange that no HP numbers posted .. usually HP posted first leaving us lusting for torque numbers.

That's if you use 711NM. 711 ft lbs is 963NM, which converts to 641HP at 3500 RPM.
