I love articles and tech info like this. Although I am an NA fan now, I cut my teeth on import turbos (4G63, EJ20, and MZR DISI)
The S55 is shaping up to be a good all-purpose engine and I look forward to trying out both transmissions :P
I also wonder how the engine response is in the upper RPM range and how it feels in the 6000-7600 rpm range. I had a Mazdaspeed3 once and didn't bother revving past 5500 and just upshifted...
I'm interested in seeing the engine bay/packaging in person. The engine bay is a little bigger in the F3x/F8x but that looks quite complex.
