The STI as well as WRX requires a bigger fuel pump, injectors, and a tune to run. Currently Cobb does not offer off-the-shelf (OTS) maps for E85,IIRC. A protune via AccessPort or OpenSource will work. Just putting a tank in with out those thing and you are asking for trouble.

depending on how much boost (assuming they offer a turbo version) it comes with from the factory, it might be as simple as a boost controller.

If the is a turbo version of FT86 ant it come with a current turbo suby ecu. you can "crank up" the boost in the ecu with a new map. 02 WRX responded well to a manual boost controller but all following years the car hated life when you put one of those things on, just like how you are not suppose to run atmosphere venting BOVs on them.

this it what you can do with OpenSource to "crank it up"
