DENVER Newbie with 2006 IX Electic Blue

Second post here in this forum but I have been reading posts for weeks. Just picked up a 2006 Electric Bue IX the other day with 20k miles. I definetely have caught the bug and plan to mod it in the future. Will start with the E-85 conversion and tune to up my boost. Plan to change to 1200cc injectors and change the fuel pump. Do i need to change the fuel pump? I also plan to do a turbo back exhaust. I will stop there and see how I feel about the car then. I want a conservative car that can be daily driven. Only thing aftermarket on this car are the wheels and the HKS BOV. Any comments or suggestions would be great! Glad I found the Site.

BY the Way mine is a 2006 IX GSR with SE interior.

Hey Bro!

Welcome to the site.

I have a shop here in Longmont.

Yes, you need to upgrade to a Walbro 342 fuel pump. What turbo do you plan on running. If you stay with the stock turbo, 880s are great. 1000 will also work, but 1200s on the stocker are overkill.

Feel free to call anytime.
