Would you be purchasing this Old School Green used or new? How much will you be paying for it, if I may ask?

If I had to choose between running the Old School Green on pump(92?) or the 8 turbo on E85. I'd say bring on the E85.

Does your 8 turbo have the 10.5cm housing or the 9.8?

Me I would just pickup a cheap 10.5 housing used. Install the 1000cc injectors that you have already, hot-wire and punch out the Wally and get a hairy E85 tune from Aaron and call it a day. You'll have a nasty torque monster on the street and you won't have spent more than $500.

The Old School Green is not much better than a stock IX turbo. Not worth the price difference if you ask me. I know because I had one. Incidentally $750 for a secondhand OS Green seems a bit on the high side to me

FP Green + E85 = Very fast. You can't go wrong with an upgrade FP green turbo. You will be very happy.

I run fp black on stock block n head with s2 and meth. So far so good, as long as you don't run a crap ton of boost. Tom from vr has tuned a few blacks on e85 on stock block.

yeah you will be pushing it. Better have a spare block handy. I popped my block on 93 pump gas.

Just slap the green on it call it call it a day, Solid 11's daily driver with no issues what so ever. For 750 is give away for that green. Plus you have E85 to make it even better .
