I am no EVO tuner, but it would take a lot more MODS to achieve this than on E85.

The lowest I've experienced starting my car was about 30degrees after my car sat out on the street all night. Took about 6 full cranks. I'm sure lower temps would be worse. If it's in the garage Im sure it will be no prob. I've never had prob with the map switching. It's great. Going from e85 to 91 is no biggy, just make sure the gas light is on. From 91 to e85 I would run it about 40 more miles from when the gas light goes on, or drain the tank by pulling the fuel return line and putting it in a gas tank and starting the car. Once it runs out Ur good to fill on corn. you could run 750cc maxed out with some boltons, but reccommended 1000cc or greater. I love my fic1050s. Work great on both fuels. And I have a bunch of extra room if I want to add more mods without having to upgrade injectors

You can play with your maps a little and get the cold starts smoothed out. Mine started up easily with the temperature in the teens.

But in all reality isn't the stock turbo falling on its face right around those numbers, that's the only thing I'm worried about b.c I want it to be strong all round.

I'm planning on running dual maps at some point and interested in hearing from some guys who currently are. I know it's as easy as flipping a switch but how low to you let your tank get before making the switch?

wow... totally overlooked that, thanks. So absolutely no mixing the 2? Not even just a little? I was just thinking of a situation of being on a trip and having to switch to one or the other. Guess you'd have to carry a spare gas tank.
