Possible Frankenturbo Future Offering

My turbocharger candidate list is still open while I try and find an upgrade that fits what I am looking for.  A potential contender is a revised FrankenTurbo F21 that Frankenturbo released some early prototype photos of.

A revised, billet, compressor wheel:

and even more interesting, a mixed flow turbine:

This looks to be an excellent combination for trying to maximize power on a stock motor while retaining good spool up characteristics.

Time will tell if the prototype lives up to the design goals.

Fuel Rail Upgrade

Choosing to use the Silly Rabbit Motorsport modified S4 intake manifold, one with an adapter for the RS4 throttle body, meant that the stock S4 fuel rail setup could no longer be used.  The larger RS4 throttle body interferes with the positioning of the S4 fuel rail.  I had a choice of purchasing an RS4 fuel rail, or putting together a fuel rail setup using aftermarket parts.

I decided to go the aftermarket route primarily because I felt it would give me more options with how the fuel and air plumbing would be done.

So far I have been collecting AN fittings to work with the IE Fuel Rails.  I also purchased the Integrated Engineering Fuel Pressure Regulator housing, shown at the rear of the driver side fuel rail.

Additionally I  am working on cobbling together the vacuum lines that I am pulling off of the S4 fuel rail.
