I don't think I'm understanding your request, and I would like to.

My knowledge is coming from the following links

Delicious Tuning flexfuel kit:
https://www.delicioustuning.com/flexfuel

Delicious Tuning E85 FAQ
https://www.delicioustuning.com/node/524

From what I am taking away from these, the tuning is done dynamically with the flex fuel kit - allowing a dynamic adjustment while driving, thus removing the worry of filling up with E85 one tank and filling up with 91 octane 2/3's a tank later, which seems to be part of the concern. Perhaps call delicious and they can shine some light on the subject? They use Ecutek as well, allowing the nifty cruise control to act as the selector (I think that feature is the bees-knees TBH).

I guess the real question for engine safety and reliability is:

"if you have different maps and the flex fuel setup, will the flex fuel work with the mappings or not?"

Listen to everyone. Ditch OFT and get ecutek and flex fuel. There is a reason everyone is telling you to do so... You spent money on the car and want to boost it, don't cheap out on the most important part when boosted and that's a solid tune

Is there a shop in san diego that you guys like?
Ik my chanses are low but is there a shop that can tune it for Open Flash so I can swap between E85 turbo tune and 91 Oct turbo tune when I please. Open flash is also important to me because of smog. Im going to have to remove the turbo once a year.
Delicious Tuning. Bill is the man!
