Cobb AP can have the maps loaded for easy switching. Fuel injectors, Fuel pump, and i would suggest a upgraded intercooler, and maybe a 3port

People range from 40-60 hp just by switching to e85

Gain or lose 40-60 hp?

how about filters and fuel lines?
doesn't they need to be changed?
to cope with alcohol I mean, not to upgrade flow..

i´m thinking of doing e85 but keeping the engine stock so will not be boosting so much more...

You didn't see the Evo Hippie package? It comes with flowers planted in all the exterior side vents because the brake dust acts as potting soil, and the window washer nozzles are aimed to water the flowers instead. It also comes with dirty cutoff hemp shorts, flip flops, and a Fender acoustic guitar in the trunk instead of a radio. For $20 more you get the Ibanez instead.

I know this is a old threadbut i have a question regarding the dw65c fuel pump. I heard its not safe to use on the stock.filter? Do you need to replace the stock fuel lines? I like the dw65c due to being a drop in fuel pump.

then my buddy tuned the car for me...he put in the "map switching" feature on my 'cruise control' button, so i can switch from the E85 map to pump gas map whenever i need to.

I bought all my parts from Maperformance..they'll give you an awesome deal

Good info
