If you are staying stock turbo and run out of fuel, it's easy to address anyway. It takes 30 minutes to swap and hardwire a better fuel pump and injectors are right in the front of the engine bay if you're going e85.
No reason to hardwire an aftermarket fuel pump until that pump, and any larger single pump, can't support your requirements. The 9/12v switch is a nice feature to keep the pump from overrunning the stock FPR at idle/cruise, and also helps keep the pump quieter and cooler, which should ultimately lead to a longer lifespan.

You own an evo now!?!?!? WTF! Post up pics slut!

Yeah yeah, I've been slacking haha. I'll probably get that done tomorrow on my day off. May need your assistance sometime with flashing some tephra mods on the car as I am not too smart on that stuff yet :-D. I did pick up a cable, but still want to do more reading before I attempt anything.

Oh, and LOL @ trogdor being bant.

What are you talking about? Because I find it funny that the #1 shit talker of Evo's now wants one? And the guy that pushes brand new Evo's on everyone and their grandmother thinks they are the greatest cars on the globe? Whatever dude...

Anyways,

Motors= weak if you go with more than a stock turbo/e85 setup.
Drivetrain = built like a tank, if you have an 08, get the diff pin installed.
Fuel system= Get a Walbro and be done. If you go with a big stock frame turbo like a Black/EF4/BBX/etc, you may need more.

I don't see how me giving you shit after you calling an SRT-4 a fag wagon etc is bashing. I've had turbo Mitsubishi's its not nut swinging either. Asked a few questions from the owners here. Not trying to stir the pot or swing on anyone's short and curlies. :wank:

Good points. I am on a hardwired dw300 running e85 though and have not had idle or cruise issues, but I've only done 4-5 tanks so far and have no idea what my fuel pressure is at. I have heard of people pushing return lines off fittings, but mostly on pump. The car is getting another round of mods shortly though, so I might need to revisit.

Tons down here, including my buddy I mentioned hitting 466 so far, with more to come later his week. He has the AMS cooler and SSP600 discs/steels/seals.
