E85 - anyone thought about cutting over to it?

E85 should be the first mod.

Bigger turbo would realistically require engine out, beef up rods etc, as opposed to injectors, fuel lines, fuel pump and tune. I'd doubt they are on the same page cost wise.

I am thinking staying under 300 hp, which you can do without rods. Where I don't see you wringing that out of a K03s. Peaky delivery from the K03s too, I like my billet a lot in that respect.

If I'm going to go big turbo I'd be looking at options of sailing past 300hp to justify the investment.

Am I actually going to be able to extract anything else out of the stock turbo beyond stage 2? Fundamentally that is the question in front of me. Of course if I was upgrading then I'd be looking to do both.

For me, the biggest consideration of going over 300 is being able to use it. I'd say it'll want some gearbox attention as a minimum and I'd think a set of Brembos would be good value too.

Have a read of what this fella spends his time on. VWVortex.com - Hybrid Turbo (the Madmax way) >>>>>> if you want to play with the std turbo there's some more in it, probably.
