It goes pretty well, WOT is a blast! I've been thinking about starting a build-type of thread that will go over FrankenTurbo and my experience with it (along with pics), but I need time/motivation.

you definatley should.. i know i see questions all the time regarding the frankenturbo set up vs. elim vs. k04 etc.. im sure a ton of people would take alot away from it and it would be super helpful.. seeing what you run with it, it sparked my interest.. running the PC-16 file and 440 injectors which are bigger than what you would run for a regular k04 file right?

clean bay man.. very much like what im working on achieving.. gotta get ahold of a set of plastics like the battery/rain tray cover, new coil cover.. and would love to polish the manifold and some paint work to the top of the motor.. always drving someplace and cant afford to have the car down for very long but i guess finding a used AEB intake mani would be the best way, and just sand and polish it up so the car doesnt have to be down.. my heatshield now is a mix between the joke OEM heatshiled and some plyable heatshield material off of my parents old jeep, it works for right now and is a good divider but i def need one when you get fabbin them up.. PM me if you want when youre ready to send out some of these bad boys..
I'll let you know, if I forget for some reason I'll have additional posts up on vortex and audizine in the classifieds sections
And to metal man, you should definitely do a build thread, theres not many solid threads out there on the FT and theres definitely a lot of people who would benefit!

yea that sounds like the best way to go about it. and spending a week in your spare time sanding and polishing is so worth the time when thats the finished product. that and some wire tieing and cleaning up with a coil cover and some clean up itll be looking much more fresh. as for the plastics i think im just gunna have to find them in a part out or the yard.. maybe shokan has some in stock who knows.. but yea ill def keep an eye on the classifieds and an eye on this thread to see when abouts you finish a few of them and have one unspoken for so i can jump on it..

You're right, normal PC-16 should run 315cc injectors with ~2.8bar fuel pressure. Since now I'm running a 3" OD (2.75" ID) MAF I needed to compensate for the MAF sensor reading ~26% low, by increasing fuel delivery by about 26%. This is called "hillbilly tuning" by some, and it requires monitoring the A/F ratio to get it right, but it works!

I would guess not, but it's not really necessary on the 2.8 because there is no turbo to shield from the intake.
