85t looks bomb i want one, haha the best modd, e85 is similar to puttin 101-109 octane in your car cleans out the fuel system, from what i reasherched, more torque more hp!

May want to read this.http://zfacts.com/p/436.html

Also dont forget that octane doesnt mean power. Octane is just a measure of how fast fuel burns. To take advantage of the higher octane ignition timing must be advance. Not quite so easy on a car that has no distributor.

If you have a stock wbo2, you can run up to 25% e85. More than that and you will run out of injector. You can always have a tune for the fuel, we with newer 1.8t's can use lemmingwinks to add in timing

I'm demoing a plug and play E85 flex fuel module right now and it seems to be working great. It's sub zero here in the morning and still no hesitancy starting up. I'm noticing crisper response and similar gas mileage. I'll let you know in 5-600 miles how it's working out.
