A lot of people run WI in lieu of replacing their intercooler because of the cost differential, but there's no reason why you can't run both and achieve more than 100% efficiency between both setups.

Basically, it won't hurt you or work against you. It all depends on whether or not you're knocking as to whether or not you'll need it, and my bet is that if you push 20 PSI on 9.5:1 pistons with pump gas, you're going to see lots of it. Watch your EGT's, and keep 'em under 850°C. If they rise over 850, you can benefit from it regardless. If they're below 850, adding alcohol to the mix can put a little extra fire under your ass. A little more power, too. Like I said, it's one of those things where you have to expirament to find out what works perfectly on your car. So, yes. It's like the SC/Turbo debate only with alternate fuels.

... like ... me?

That's pretty sick though, with 400whp what kind of axles are you going to be using? I know alot of people run up to like 300 with the stock ones, but eventually they're bound to blow. Some stage 2's might do the trick eh?

I can imagine hearing that turbo go by... with that BOV you should be making plenty of sound.

:thumbup: As ALWAYS, good job... also hit me up on AIM at "xphaseoneeklipz"... I am doing a turbo b18c, and theres plenty of parts I need... wondering what your prices are.... thanks!
