Have you read any of the threads? It's not even close to the N55. Slapped with twin turbos, come off it. Unless the bore and stroke info given is wrong, it's pretty much been proven that the bore spacing is different, which means a longer block, which means different heads.

Hell, even if it's not, look at the pictures, the block is substantially different.
