Fuel pump, injectors, and tune at a minimum.

I went the e85 route directly without bolt-ons. Cheap and stealthy 100+ hp gain.

Added: injectors, pump, 3-port boost controller, fuel relay, dual (91/e85) tune.

People usually go with 1000cc for the stock turbo so your not maxing out your injectors and would still be good enough for a biger turbo if you go that route down the road.

not to highjack the thread but how does the dual work?i know you use the cruise control to switch but when/can you switch? do you have to run e85/91 really low then switch?

I use EcuFlash. To change maps, I run fuel until there are no bars left on the fuel gauge. Fill up. Then switch maps and go easy for a few miles. I pretty much stay on e85 unless I have to go on a trip where there is no e85 (which isn't often).

This is the way I want it set up

I'm thinking about this myself. Let us know if you make the switch, and your impressions.
