So, are you running 10-11psi right now?

I bet its fun

Think of it this way, even if your goal is 300whp on pump, you could potentially lower your boost and run e85 and still get the same power numbers (not much lower PSI, but still - I'm a little wary of running higher boost levels on such a high compression engine, until we get more reliability results in the next few years I'll be running as low as possible).

If you travel a lot or something, completely understand but I'll be taking that route and just have a route of e85 stations for when I take trips, lol...
My issue with E85 right now is I won't do it unless I have the flex fuel kit $$$$$

Also, I don't daily drive it, and E85 sitting on the tank is not good as it produces condensation.

Yeah, only did 3-4 pulls but was around that area. It felt awesome.

True.

I don't daily drive the fr-s (although, it is my "daily driver" I don't commute or anything really...), so I have been a little worried about the condensation issues. But that'll just give me more reasons to drive it

The flex fuel kit is pretty expensive. I've been thinking about that solution as well, it would be ideal for any trips.

I didn't nosedive into details, but what I initially read was about a week sitting started condensation. I tink I'll go with pumpgas for now, later down the road say 2 years, I'll go ahead and see how everything is holding up on other cars and up the boost a bit with flexfuel E85. The flexfuel turbo map is HARD and time consuming to develop!

It's the AVO turbo, it's a TD05 18g with compressor/turbine housing and compressor numbers inverted.

Man seeing this makes me want to head down to SoFL for the meet just so we can line our cars up and do some third gear pulls. Let's see the new boost curve when you get a chance.

Will take some logs tonight. From looking at the gauge it still seems to be all over the place
