Re: My NEW turbo setup
The actual mix percentage varies significantly throughout the year in parts of the country which actually have seasons... gotta be careful if you're tuned on the ragged edge. Are you filling up on E85 or E60?

Re: My NEW turbo setup
Ours has been testing at e80 even in the middle of winter here. I suspect within the next month it will be up to 85. Not much variation which keeps tuning easier year round
Re: My NEW turbo setup
I don't test mine since I'm not tuned to the edge.
They say the minimum is e70 on the pump, I assume they go down close to that being winter in Colorado. I adjust my mixture in my head to try and keep it close to e45-e50 or so, but I don't try too incredibly hard since I've got a lot of flex. I'd love to run straight e85, but our fuel system can't support that much fuel, the injectors are maxxed.

Re: My NEW turbo setup
With shitty stock size tires, the stock springs with Konis are just perfect for performance.

Re: My NEW turbo setup
Or maybe even a video that's not ironic in light of the stereotype you push regarding V8 Fiero owners.
It has some decent turbo noise, at least.

Re: My NEW turbo setup
wire harness for the fuel pump. somehow the wire and pin came out of the plastic connector. It seems there is a nub or something that is supposed to hold it in, and it broke or something cause the car shut off and had no fuel pressure obviously. I thought the pump died, but it turned out to be this simple connector. I "fixed" it to keep it from occuring again for both teh ground and power wire.
Re: My NEW turbo setup
I can't quite tell, was that a Chevy Malibu, or Cruze? The one walking away on you.
