I know if your planning on sub 400 a 460 with a reg would suffice and shouldn't surgeThe goal Matty will be to reach whatever the new comp wheel and my tuner (CPV, Dave Sheehy, blueboost...) thinks the engine is happy at on 98 octane.Valve springs will no doubt need doing for reliability (2008 motor) and I will also have my water/meth injection setup and I want to have a 4in intake to turbo but more likely under battery style and exhaust wise... with the prices they want for a TT exhaust (dual 2.5in!) and the fact there are no 3.5in systems they can go jump.I'd like to try the pipe with wastegate on the end modification and have it cut in before the cat, hopefully this will flow enough to equal a 3.5-4inch system?It will probably sound funky when on full boost but if it does the job, I don't get hassled and I can actually stand the noise it will make then who gives a rats especially for the money!We do have an excellent custom exhaust bloke here (popeye from HiFlow) but I am shuddering at the thought of how much a 3.5in cat back system would cost.Back to the fuel pump though...My ba turbo originally had a walbro intank (can't remember the model it was a direct fit) only when I had all supporting mods and Elite Auto in Brissy tuned that for me with 330rwkw and I had no surge problems.The fuel side of things is something I can diy but most other stuff like exhaust and removing turbo will have to be someone else as I physically can't do it anymore so it's money I hate with a passion to spend on labour!Bosch now only rate on their 044's to 500 hours on E85I doubt we'll ever get E85 in Townsville Ratter and if they have it then I haven't seen it anywhere except for drums!Pretty fcking funny considering we have the V8 Supercars here every year... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And go a turbo side just for sound 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackay is on the list of places that are set to recieve United E85 in the next few months..Weird the Ville isnt there with it :/and also when the V8s are on they sell their Sucrogen out of their tankers if u ask the right questions to the right people I used to get it down here in SEQ when events are on for about $2.30/L so take a 44 or 2 and fill it up and save $200 on the retail on a shipped drum..This applies to ALL V8 events guys too so take some drums and stock up when they are in town..

Is this considered better or worse as far as performance goes over BP98?Will the fuel economy be worse than standard 98oct? Not really worried about fuel economy but I'm gathering it will be worse?
