Twin turbo with current MGUH is impractical. And without the fuel flow limit and just a max rpm you have no restriction on power. And without a boost limit you are almost guaranteeing lower rpm. If you want them to rev to 18,000rpm yu would need to have a low boost limit to force them to use extra rpm.
Personally I would keep the fuel flow regulation and dump the race fuel allowance. Since the target is 1000hp I would dump the rpm limit (they won't go too high anyway) and maintain the fuel flow formula (rpm * 0.009 + 5.5) but have the fixed flow rate start from 13,000rpm (122.5kg/h).
The maximum capacity would be retained, but there would be no minimum capacity.
No development limits, but a limit to the price that engine suppliers can charge clients.
Allow more ICE per season. Electric gizmos and turbo should last longer, so they can stay at 4/season.
I wouldn't change the ES regs, except I would remove the weight limits. So if a team want sto run less storage and less weight they can.
Minimum weight and minimum CoG can go.
Ditch the requirement that the exhaust must exit on the outside of the vee.
Allow V8s and V10s of the previous two engine formulae to compete with smaller teams, using the 122.5k/h fuel flow limit (but not the formula) and no rpm limit.
