^^nice dude

i was at the garage tonight with jason and we were talkin about your car. its sounding really stout at this point. definately strong on the street.

you're only at like 60% duty cycle on your walbro, being that e85 takes approximately 30% more fuel, you should be right on the curve of pushing the limits on your fuel pump. you'll definately be above 420awhp especially with the boost leak being fixed. pm or something when your headed to the shop, i wanna see this thing in action. ill even wrench for free

Alright. Parts should be in tues morning so hopefully tues afternoon it will be in the shop. I'll take up a good 15 gallons of e85 and I'll let them do their thing. Thanks for your suggestion to head up there to have them tune it! All those in the area should for sure go up there for their tuning needs, nothing but great service and really nice guys. I'm hoping for the mid 400s but well see, don't want to blow the bottom end, well see. Yeah the aps twin vent bov needed to be adjusted and still does a little and for sure when it's tightened a little the top end will be even smoother and yield a good but more power. With the bov fluttering it was screwing up thr top end of the curve, with that fixed and the e85 flowing I see good things happening. Don't know how long the install and tuning will take but people are more than welcome to come...

Keep us posted. I'm seriously considering the HTA Green over the FP Red.

Spool up is great, a good bit faster than the red, or so I hear. This my daily car for just street use so quick spool up was a requirement when buying anew turbo. Thus thing has impressed me thus far, but the true test will be when the motor starts to make more power with the e85

Passed a Red Evo 8 up in my area near Harlansburg (Rt. 19 and 108). It was wingless and had a carbon fiber trunk. Any ideas of who it might be? I believe they were headed towards New Castle.

I was in a Blue Toyota Corolla.

Buchnerj, I am curious about this fluttering your getting with your APS. I've been getting some fluttering with my setup. It's only in 4 and 5th gear from 2-4000 rpm tho. I was thinking it might br surge since it dosnt happen in 1-3 gear or at high rpm. But then again it might just be the BOV needs to be adjusted. I've been to lazy to actually track down the problem since the car usually only sees high rpm driving but, I'd like to solve the issue if possible. So yours was fluttering at high rpm?

By the way those seem like good numbers! Can't wait to see what the corn fuel gives you.
