I'm about to get a e85 tune put in my car and currently running PW stage 2 kit.. It's a fgf6 with the upgraded f6 turbo.. Just wondering what I'm gonna run out of first.. Turbo puff or cooler flow?

The car has 400rwkw now, hoping for 440-450rwkw on e85.. Will the stage 2 cooler get there or will The turbo run out of puff first?

And does a stage 3 PW cooler core fit up to a stage 2 piping kit?

The predigamet I'm in is its $2400 for e85.

If I can't get decent numbers above 400, I'll have to do the turbo, intercooler aswell.. Which means +$6k and then I guess the box will go which will be another $3.5k.. So don't want to start the e85 upgrade if it's gonna cost me ~$9k for 50-80rwkw

Cheers all

All depends on what you want with the power ? Racer or Dyno queen ?

Stage 2 should do the job.however

Just my opinion but anything over 350 for a daily is overkill.

All you are burning is money and will still get smoked if you cant get traction

stage 3 has different pipes

we have just finished a group buy on P/west coolers, the stage 3 had a saving of approx. $300 when you consider the freight and it also includes the throttle body elbow.

Although the group buy is over, the link is still up and will be taken down tomorrow and the final order placed.

When you say upgraded f6 turbo do you mean you've gone a bigger f6 turbo or just have the standard one and it's an upgrade from the xr6?

My car is a fg f6 so I had the stock turbo upgraded.. Not sure on specs but it was maxed out for that turbo.. I'm trying to achieve a 10 sec pass.. Best I could do with 400rwkw was 11.5 but I snapped my tail shaft on the second run.. Since then I got a chromoly one so should be able to launch a little harder.. 440rwkw should get me a 10.9 pass.

E85 seems to be the cheapest next step for that.. But like I said if it means I need turbo and intercooler upgrade.. It won't be so cheap..
