Yes, It´s interesting, Turbos can really take advantage av the higher octane that E85 has.

Some interesting fact... The SAAB turbos that are FFV here in Sweden has 150hp on regular gas and 180 on E85 from factory.

^^^ short answer ... no

w/out tuning you're going to max your fuel trims out since it needs to dump a bunch more fuel... and I wouldn't even try WOT (unless tuned)
