well there are guys who "daily drive" thier E85 cars.
If your saying for a STOCK TII I would say your kind of wasing your time. You would have to increase fuel delivery and have a way to control and tune the car, if all that is on a stock motor your kind of spending alot of time and money for little gain because the stock turbo is only going to do so much. Factor in a loss of fuel economy and I dont think its a wise thing for a stock daily car.
