I wonder if this is a BorgWarner Turbo....As Audi has had these electronic DV's for a long time. Hopefully the diaphragm in that electronic DV can withstand the additional boost people will be running in these things, if not I am sure Forge or the like will come out with some mechanical alternative like they did in the 2.0T motors in the Audi. Also I wonder if it will be easier to access all these parts for mods/service.

Hmmmm.... This motor is looking more and more interesting as I read more about it.
