Personally I would prefer the larger turbo on 93, rather than the smaller turbo on e85...

My 9 turbo on e85 made 400 according to VDR. It's fun don't get me wrong but I have since moved to a place where there is no e85 for miles so now I'm on 93 again and it sucks. So it's time to upgrade the turbo so I can stay on 93 and still have some fun.

Wait until you pull into a station and their e85 pumps are done or something dumb. It sucks and you go into panic mode. I kept at least 5 gallons on hand at home just in case. Now I'm 93 full time and I'm happy it's readily available everywhere. So time for an fp turbo.

Ps I'm on stock cams and will keep it that way for the time being.

Fortunately, a stock turbo on E85 is exciting and very fun. Good for me and those of us in Arizona, E85 is everywhere. If I did not have E85, I would not get a larger turbo and it is the torque that makes the driving experience fun.

No need to buy some cams from a vendor. I have some brand new Kelford 280s still in the box that I can sell you. I had them as I was going to run a larger turbo but am thinking about changing my set up.

Nice, I just received GSC S2's from MAP. I'll have them in sometime this week. Make sure you post up your numbers once you get it tuned. I'll put some up next week.

I had an old school green and e9 turbo honestly not worth the upgrade.

From e8 turbo to e9 turbo though a world of diference. Camshaft and e9 turbo on e85 400 whp and 400 torque.

This is very good to know and it makes my decision less difficult.

This is the route I'm taking as well. cams are enroute and with e85, it should be fun times

Just to let you know the OG green or stock turbo are both capable of generating windows in your block on E-85. I like my OG green on my stroker. Stupid torque with quick spool.
