We run quite a few cars at 30+psi on E85 but the main problem with a small turbo and high boost on 92 has been the timing has been so low typically that the best you can get is high EGTs with 9* out the top. We got 13* out the top with this setup this time around, the manifold didnt glow in the dark (literally tested it).
This car can make a pull in 5th and accelerate clean with no knock. The bigger the turbo the easier it is to replicate because at a given boost level the charge temp is already greatly reduced compared to a little turbo. We heat soaked the heck out of the 3.5" TurboXS intercooler and didnt have any problems.
It might seem like a minor accomplishment to some, but I dont see too many people on stock/stock appearing turbos (other than Razorlab and myself) having succeeded in doing this on lower octane premium. I actually have run more but couldnt get it too stay consistent @ 34-35psi spikes with the Green.
