I would highly, highly, implore you to spend the few extra hundred dollars and use ECUTEK as your engine management solution. And believe me, this is coming from someone who is in no way shape or form a "parts /company snob" if you will. The ability for your tuner to create custom maps affords them the ability to properly cut boost/ignition timing in the event that a read value (from a knock sensor/ O2 sensor/oil temp or pressure any input really) exceeds a desired threshold is absolutely priceless and has likely saved my motor countless times for all I know. To my knowledge, this cannot exactly be accomplished in ROMRaider....hence the reason you see basically every single person except for one that tunes these cars commercially/professionally using Ecutek over RomRaider even when it likely cuts into their bottom line with the hefty cost of licensing.

Is it absolutely necessary to get 700cc injectors for e85? I will be using the delicious tuning flex fuel kit. Just wanting to be in the 300whp range on e85.

Yes, stock injectors can't deliver the volume of fuel required for E85 + boost.

I will most definitely be asking questions on this thread during my install. Still a bit confused where my coolant lines for my GTX go and my boost controller everything else I've watched and researched a million times over so I'm confident

Was in the same situation as you, but this forum and the facebook page are great resources. I even messaged Ian a couple of times to double check everything and he was always there. |

If you'd like I can take a video of how I've got my coolant and solenoid lines setup.

That was my video and my recommended setup, regardless of use case. No point in heating the throttle body with coolant unless you live in the Arctic Circle. Less potential points of leakage and a straight shot to the turbo.
