Oh those bastards. Barban's advice is on point, but with you E85 in your case.

Funny, they know the power of water...

Was finally able to start the testing on this turbo. So far I'm seeing positive pressure starting around 3500 rpm with full boost (currently 10 psi) around 4600 rpm in 4th gear. Engine has about 40-50k miles, stock ports, 3" downpipe that necks into 2.5" at the midpipe. I'll post another update once it's properly tuned and Dyno'd.
