Start with pte 1200's, double pumper or dw300, E85, MBC and a tune,

if you want more,

arp head studs

gsc s2's, kelford 272's, fp 4r's

Intercooler 3.5" with 2.5" pipes

hta green boost 25-30psi

then if you want more safetly, build or block..

But before you do anything, do a compression test and find out what clutch you have.

what will i need for a e85 conversion??
and im currently having a problem, i build boost to 20psi, but around 4500~6000 WOT i drop boost to 5-7psi.. i have no leaks in my piping, made sure everything was tight. i was thinking it's my wastegate actuator going bad?

Sounds like normal taper although a bit high. Do you have a MBC/EBC? Upgraded BCS?

no, i dont have a MBC or upgraded BCS. i had the car reflashed at works about a month ago and the car ran great with no taper for about a week after. then out of nowhere it just started doing it, but when it happens you can hear the air escaping but i dont know where from.

ic plus piping, the works for e85, and bigger turbo.. but if you also want to make sure your car runs get it serviced lol make sure your nice to that tranny and tcase.. i had bc cams before on an e85 tune and yeah it was fun.. but i swapped out to some s2's and i love them.. better top end and it pulls way harder

it all depends on what you want out of your car. if you want the low end power/stock spool go fp green e85 1450cc inj aermotive 340 pump, intercooler, headstuds, gsc s1 cams and you should see around 450hp. if you dont care about spool go fp black instead of the green
