Thanks for the responses. i am going to grab 80s for now ($1500 gold box package deal) and see what happens. If I max them out and want more, I will cross that bridge at that time. Thanks!

I might have missed it, but what boost controller are you running? What do your duty cycle and gain settings look like with the 6lb spring?

I was having a hell of a time with my Innovate SCG-1 until I dropped the spring setting down to 3psi (half of what it actually is, which is 6psi) and then cranked the gain all the way up to 38% and the duty cycle up to 32%. Now it flashes right up to 15psi and holds steady. Before the boost was all over the map.

yeah GAIN or SPRING on most EBC's just ends up making them swing wildly all over i always zero them out

im using MS3 to control boost and a MAC solenoid

going to start messing with twin 450s in the tank instead of just one and see where that takes me on Ethanol and Gasoline for the learning experience and to see how far this turbo will go

Matt I thought you weren't digging e85 there for a while? What made you change? I have a e85 nearby and have been tempted to try it. Only thing is that I have a small tank in my Mustang and will go through it even faster with e85...but the additional protection of e85 may be worth it.

pardon my ignorance, are you running them both full time? or the second comes on with boost reference?

I think he said in the video that he's planning to see if he can get away with running them both all of the time, and if the regulator can't return enough fuel to keep the fuel pressure proper at idle he'll have the ECU start the second pump at 5psi or thereabout.

Matt, where did you buy the second pump, install kit, and all of the wiring stuff (assuming all of that stuff in the top box came from the same place)?

Is the ethanol content a winter blend in your region or is it mixed with gasoline? My sensor here says 82-85% for pump e85
