Currently running 9.1 compression and a Hahn 16g turbo. my end goal in the next few years is to see the car over 400 whp. I have an opportunity to pick up a garret turbo for pretty cheap.

This is the turbo.

A 60 trim will not be too big at all. It won't Spool like the 16g but if you get the. 63 a/r you will do pretty good. With e85 you should get to 400whp+

Maybe you can help me out. Ive been out of the turboing game for a while. Why is running e85 so beneficial for turbo cars and what does it take to run it in a car setup for normal gas? I know literally nothing about it.

Did a little googleing and i got the jist of it.
Just found out the closest E85 stating near me is about an hour away. LOL Ill be in no hurry for that.

If you have Facebook join 420a Srt4 and edz group. Bunch of people on there. This site is pretty dead these days it just has good info. Don't worry about e85 just get a goal and plan to back it up.

Currently running a portfueler, but im looking to go MS or another EMU. I have been advised that if i want to see high power that the Portfueler is not the best option due to lack of ignition and timing control. I liked the idea of the PF because of the ability to get good MPGS when driving nice, but this car has been upgraded from my daily to strictly a toy and i no longer care about the MPG. I bought this car off my cousin almost the way it is today and i just recently had a long discussion with the shop owner who built the motor for the car. He said that with the PF the car will always run "Good" never great. So im upgrading the turbo, opening up the exhaust, and hopefully going with a new EMU.

Im after mpg :) so ill buy a used pf if you end up selling it.

I'll def keep you in mind when i go to sell it. If your just starting a build i will also have a hahn manifold and hahn 16g turbo for sale.

Pf used in conjunction with with an msd 6212 ignition with boost reference works great. If you no longer care about dd problems then ms is def the way to go.

IM either going with MS or AEM EMS4.

I already have the hrc kit and necessary injectors, just need the pf :)

Got it!
