How much boost
 
I just got my car turboed and am wondering how much boost you guys are running in your frs/brz.

Need to be more specific. What turbo? What turbo kit, if one? What fuel? What fuel system upgrades?

I run a conservative 11psi on a PTE5558 on E85. I don't have a "kit" setup.
People run 5psi on AVO kits.
People run 1 bar on AVO kits.

See where I'm going with this?

You are gonna need to change out those injectors before you can think about upping the boost.

Also, I wouldn't run anymore than the boost you are already runnin on pump gas.

Go E85 if you want more.

I wasnt gonna go past 11 on stock injectors and pump. But I have a few e85 stations around me. I daily drive so what is gonna be the pros and cons of e85. And youre saying after I get injectors and pump I shouldnt run any more boost on 93?

Gotcha. Still a rather vague question. 11psi from Turbo A isn't the same as 11psi from Turbo B.

As to E85, the only real "negative" is fuel mileage. But you can lean out your cruising AFR a good deal to make it back some. I average ~24mpg highway on E85, ~21mpg mixed, both with a good amount of boost usage. So it's certainly not terrible mileage.

And I wouldn't increase your boost on pump gas regardless of what pump and injectors you go to. On E85, yes, turn it up a bit.

In for the answer. This topic hasn't been covered yet; I am curious as well.
