Honestly not sure yet. It hasn't been tuned, that is one of the things I need to work on. I already fixed up the tune a bit, but I'm going to convert it to drive by wire because the crappy aftermarket throttle on there now only goes down 1/4 of the way... which probably saved the engine running on Cali 91 octane gas. Going to try out E85 with this car too.

I'd take the Mk4 over the 308/328 whatever thing.

Yea there seem to be a bunch in the area that have it. I've always avoided using it, but since this is just a fun car and will be by far the fastest car I own, I figured why not be able to add more timing and boost.

Just keep the E85 flowing and not sitting in the tank and lines.. The water absorption and corrosion that comes with it does not play well with cars that aren't using fuel on the regular.

Yep, can't let it sit too long.
