Sadly, there is no e85 locally here where i live so thats outta the question. otherwise i'd be doing that instead of looking for a bigger turbo option. Only 93 is available around here. I was considering just going full blown eqt turbo and tune but like i stated im not sure exactly what else i would need to do so. Not well informed on big turbo upgrades
ust know that going in. Figure out how to do you
I 6mt...so maybe ill look vortex thenSo if you want to make 400+ without E85 and you already have a FBO car, swap the IS38 for a Vortex with an HPFP and go Cobb with EQT.
I assume you already have an APR TCU tune so update that to the stage 3 file for just a flash fee and call it a day.
Oh i know i am...im just trying to figure out the way to goYou're spending thousands regardless. Just know that going in. Figure out how to do your own wrenching.
I think with every platform there is a horsepower point where the cost goes way up and reliability goes way down for only small increments in additional horsepower. In C6 corvette that point seems to be about 700whp, in GTR world it looks like ~650whp etc.... and in the Mk7 world that point looks like ~450-475whp to me so I would not want to push my car much above the 450whp mark personally just because the additional 25-30whp is not worth the 5x more problems and cost

If you can get E85 locally I'd say put an HPFP on there and get an EQT tune on COBB for an E50 mix. You will be shocked at how much better the car feels on a good ethanol blend vs pump gas, it feels like an entirely different car in every way including faster turbo response and torque and everything....
Depends on how far you want to go. The best route is MPI+LPFP. Depending on the turbo 29psi might be plenty. Just know when you run out above 500whp the motor reliability goes way down.
Can confirm ??
This is the reason why I haven't went MPI and stayed on stock map boost levels. Too many hurt motors I'v seen for my liking when things get churned up.
