Worlds first flex fuel factory Ecu GTR!

I know it's not a evo, but it's a factory Ecu with ecutek software. This would be a great addition to the evo market. Especially for the guys that don't have e85 readily available in there area or for those that make trips and hate emptying the tank to run pump or carrying 5gallon containers of fuel around.

Here is my response to him: I know that this has been discussed in the DSM realm at length but I am not sure if there was support to invest the money by a company in a platform that is knocking on the 20-year old door. As for the EVO, I am not sure that this "on the fly" capability has been mastered. The only thing I know of is "map switching" but nothing to take into account the variances with E85 through the ECU. I believe there is enough demand for the EVO 8/9/10 but whether or not EcuTek (as it seems they have monopolized this capability) is looking in that direction. The question that I have is whether or not this capability can also take into account when you "have" to use non-E85 fuels and still be able to compensate the tune. My gut says yes as you will just be at a much lower E85 content level in the tank. My follow-on question (considering my first question is true), is whether or not it is possible to have a non-E85 tune that is still pretty good.
