(if he admits it of cause)or what can be done to work around it Edited 01/08/13 04:55 AM by BenDoCo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll just have to get it fixed up myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll just leave it be and put a stage 2 in!Haha! Yes the joysIs there much of a difference between process west and plazmaman? Or is nizpro better.. want it to be black though so that might be the deciding factorLooks like everything should be done by the week after next if everything goes to plan :D Edited 02/08/13 05:15 AM by fgvic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgvic Member 27 Member For: 11y 11m 18d Posted 03/08/13 11:56 PM Author Share Posted 03/08/13 11:56 PM Yeh that would be great! I couldn't find the thread on itHow much, does it come in black and also does the kit work with 4" turbo side intake?When do you think it will be available?So with the 4" intake, hi flow cat and stage 2 from ratter, xcal, tune and 60lb, injectors what kind of power can I expect?How much more would it be with id1000s? Does anybody know?Is it just a tune to suit e85 or do you need a new fuel pump and lines? How much difference would it make running on e85? And how does it run on it? Do you just change the tune to suit when you fill up or?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A touch under 1k with an 044 and you'll be able to boot it safely under 1/2 a tank, and the safer way to do e85. Stock fuel lines will be ok.E85 tune you can expect 20rwkw normally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
