EVO Newb

So I'm about to finalize a trade for my FBO + Tune + Meth 335i for an 03 Evo VIII + cash. I've wanted an Evo for a long time and this is a pretty good deal for both of us so we're going to finalize it monday. Below are the mods on the Evo. The owner isn't sure but thinks it has built internals. Not much more to do to the car. I plan on swapping the turbo for an FP billet 3586r and swapping injectors to run e85. that's about it.

Well, picked up the Evo yesterday. Man that thing handles great. This is my first experience with turbo lag, as my 335i had almost none. I don't like turbo lag LOL. the rev limiter is set to 8100 right now. i need to see what i need to do to the car to run 9k safely. i ordered my tactrix cable already and am ordering fuel injectors and fuel rail today for e85. i already have a 400lph wally that i was going to put in my 335i. hoping turbo lag won't bother me after all that.

sorry to say but more fuel isn't the cure for turbo lag.

I'm well aware more fuel doesn't cure turbo lag. I'm increasing injector size to run e85. E85=more boost. More boost=more power. More power keeps my mind off of turbo lag
