    So why are expecting a car that isn't designed for E85 fuel to be ok with it?

    I may have missed some earlier discussion or something.
    He's running 17psi turbo boost. E85 is the only (relatively) safe fuel to run.

    You may want to use the 100LL (low lead....I know! That's what they call it..) from the general aviation airport nearest to you.

    I found this, but I'm not smart enough to figure it out. It says E-85 makes deposits, then says it cleans them??? Reading isn't that easy, but maybe this is a help??? https://www.sae.org/publications/tec.../2010-01-1464/
    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything
