About e-85, like i said, it will be an ultimate PITA to try and get two tunes, one for winter e-70 and one for real e-85. I guess I could just get an e-70 tune but that leaves a lot of power on the table. It's much easier to get a 93 octane and a meth tune and then hook up my fail safe to do a map switch.

I would prefer to use e-85 personally, but unless I am missing something it seems like I'll be paying double to get tuned at worst.

Injectors we sell for 300.00 and If you keep your eyes open i buy IX turbos for 350.00 on here often.. thats 650.00..

much appreciated, replied.

Mike may have me spending a bit more than planned, but I should be able to tip over the 400whp mark with a 9 turbo and new fueling.

id personally try changing the fuel to e85 that way you can knock that off your list when you go to upgrade your turbo...

best advice out here... yes you will make power, but why retune if your ultimate goal is 500-600 hp? Nothing good comes to those who take the cheap route to power..

Better to build it right than build it twice or thrice...

OOPs I didn't finish reading the thread. But thumbs up for Mike at AWD for awesome injectors. I got my 880cc from him.

The only double cost is a tune, which in the grand scheme of things isn't terrible.
