man I wish I had it within 30 miles but the closest is more like 80-100 miles a bit far! But yeah I have contemplated getting a 55 gallon drum, who knows maybe I will someday. I’m sure it is a lot more fun as who wanted want like another 100 hp! Haha

Or get 55gal drum of E98, mix 50/50 with premium and get all same benefit with it lasting a fair bit longer. (I plan to do this eventually)

Meth kit is always an option too. Plus it can last a while since you're only spraying when you're above a certain boost level.

Logistically, how do you get that drum into your garage? Is there an easy, safe to unload a 400lb drum of fuel from my pickup bed by myself?

I'm so grateful to have E85 all over my town. One of the few perks of being in Cali!

Friends. 2-4 people can lift it depending on if you even lift lol

You've gotta **** up pretty backly to puncture a drum. I'd recommend using the plastic type, not metal. You can get hand pumps that attach to the barrel off amazon. Or just use an old fuel pump hooked up to an old car battery and throw some hose on it and leave it at the bottom of the drum.

I went with the turbosmart 18psi WGA and it works great. When I called FP, they actually recommended I use that one.

The difference is the spring rates in them. If you get a 25psi actuator, the spring is keeping the wastegate shut until it sees around 25 psi with no preload, regardless of boost control settings. Same with the 18psi actuator. I would go with the 18psi one if you plan to run pump gas, just adds a level of safety so that the Tephramod drop boost on high knock can help you out in case you get a bad tank of gas.

thats a bad choice,quiet laggy for the size of it. You can go for the turbo i mentioned early in this thread for a close price to the tomioka but will make way more power everywhere.
