Although, I’m guessing the tuning would show no point in going E50+ with the smaller turbos. No idea for sure, tho.

I’ll probably try the Pure inlet pipe and 100% water in the cooling system on hot days to see what that does, then go from there.

Good luck and keep us updated!
Consensus was that the 35 should be sufficient to run full 85 - hopefully that holds up... Probably going to be a bit before we get that going but will definitely let y’all know how it pans out.

I would also be hesitant to do all those mods on a DD - if only just to not lose the AC. I don’t think I would have been comfortable with the IC conversion that we did either if it was my DD. Seeing it now I would feel comfortable doing it - but prior to that on a DD I would have wanted someone else to be the guinea pig first. Being a DD definitely makes this tougher.
