Shane,

That's the same turbo I have, and I am sure it will do everything you want. E85 can go bad if you let it sit over a long time, meaning months. But most cars don't have issues with it. My car doesn't, and I only run E85. In Texas, you guys have a better quality E85 as well, we actually have E70 up here. And it's 2.59 a gallon vs $10 a gallon for race gas. But you will be able to hit your goal on 93 octane, E85 wouldn't be needed for you.

lol....yea its all about the benjamins. The lack of flex fuel capabilities with the v1 is the only set back, unless you run either pump or e85 individually then your good. You can also run a pump/meth setup if you were to stick with pump gas if you decided. But definetley, V2 would be a good option for you in the long run, like that you can flexfuel with ease. I had a v2 a while back BNIB and sold it due to change of power goals and had sold my car, i think is one of the best PnP ems avail and most reliable. Next ems i will probably purchase/install would probably be a ms3x. Lets see how it goes. Keep up the effort and hard work buddy!

Got all the wiring done for new fuel pumps. 8 gauge power and grounds with the relays being triggered off of factory 12v pump wire. Current won't be an issue anymore. Car is actually runing better with 255 wired this way. Pump is a little quieter also. Everything turned out good.

Well,

Sent the Fragola fuel lines back. Decided if I was going to spend the money I might as well use the best line out there right now. I bought 20 foot each of the Aeroquip PTFE line. It was more expensive but I'll never have to worry about it. I started reading some horror stories on the Fragola so it had to go. My visa card may explode soon.

Thanks guys. I couldn't tell you how many cars I have wired over the years. I tend to end up redoing my own numerous times. I cleaned up the 110 outlet plug last night and it looks a lot better. I've got a ton of parts ordered so I'll be updating thread pretty regularly.

Just spent way to much money on a set of TT rear calipers. Can't believe I did it

Oh well, new brakes here we come.

Lol... it's cheaper than going with a rear BBK. I personally would purchase the TT rear calipers when i'm ready, if the price is right. On the other hand ls400 front bbk i can get BNIB through my connect for good deal. Which front brake setup are you considering? (if not already purchased)
What are BNIB ls400 calipers going for each round your way?
