FRANKENRAIL
"FARFRUMLOSIN"

So, it's been a while since we've updated the "frankenrail" pages. Mike's been busy getting the car stripped down and ready for powdercoat, then re-assembling the entire rail and turbocharging the engine. The name of the rail has also changed; no longer shall it be known as "frankenrail" From this point forward, in the grand VW tradition of funny names, it shall be known to all as "Farfrumlosin"

	Before powdercoat, there should be a wing. Here's a cardboard mock-up of the wing that will be built out of aluminum.
	Here's the Aluminum wing, it was made from 4 pieces of aluminum, welded along the top and riveted with angle pieces inside as a support.
	Mike drilled a bunch of holes in the wing and added a ton of bright LED's for a tail light.
	Here's a mock-up of the side panels. Very easy to do yourself, just make a cardboard template, cut it out with a plasma cutter or jigsaw, or have it sheared to size at the metal yard. Then mount your dzus tabs, and finally use a deadblow rubber mallet to roll the edges to fit the contour of the bars on the car.
	Billet lights on the top of the cage will make for easy night rides
	Mike also fabbed a very neat intercooler using two DSM cores. It should work very well for his blow-through setup
	Here's another shot of the intercooler. The end tanks are from the DSM intercooler, and the center tank was fabbed by mike. The turbo will blow into the center hole and then out the end tanks into the dual carbs.
