Re: I need proof E85 works…and tips for setting it up.

So if I ran it I could just max out my boost then? And I would not need to worry about knocking, or would a good tune just take care of that?

Re: I need proof E85 works…and tips for setting it up.

E85 is basically running race fuel for cheap. The big "con" with e85 is the higher fuel requirement, sometimes over 30% more fuel than when running 92 octane. you will also have to run e85 at all times, no switching back and forth between e85 and 92 unless you have the ability to drain your tank and reload a 92 octane tune into the ecu.

You won't be able to "max out" your boost. You will be able to run a fair amount of more psi of boost pressure due to E85 higher cooling and octane rating but you can't just run the "max". You can't just pour it in and turn up your MBC, you will most definitely need a tune.
