just wanted to say how nice it is to be able to just reach in and hit the key on my 3L on a 35 degree morning and after a 5 minute or less warm up period be able to drive with no issues running on E-85....

E-85 cold start tuning has been....fun.... But finally after countless attempts I have gotten it as good as stock if not better in some areas

Yeah, E85 doesn't like cold weather. As you've found though, it can be made to work perfectly.

yes it can! it takes a lot of trial and error... at least for me... but it can be done! now my only issue I am having now is I need a larger wastegate.... since I got 100% throttle back, with this new turbo it holds 12psi till around 4000 then quickly creeps to boost limiter, still set to 20psi, about 4700. how hard would it be to adapt to a larger gate on your header? cut and weld a different flange?

Well, a larger gate without a larger tube feeding it may not gain much. If you decide to have a new flange welded on, have it welded directly to the collector, ditching the tube between the collector and wastegate flange.

alright thanks for the info! I am going to look around and see what options there are for gates.... any brands better than others?

Tial is the most popular brand, though all of them seem to work well.

alright thanks! I found a 46mm precision that was reasonable but I am going to double check to make sure what I have is flowing the best it can before I just order a bigger one

Sounds like a plan.

well looks like a 46mm gate is in my future... I took it apart this weekend and cleaned everything up with a polishing kit and it did help some but still over boosts in 3rd, 2nd just goes up in smoke, I could raise boost limiter up a fuz but I am hesitant to do that till I get my fuel system upgraded...
ok...that's a big ''hell no'' on raising the boost limiter... data logged it and my duty cycle was 118% at 20psi so fuel systems definitely next
