I have a 5 psi spring in the wastegate so when driving with 91 octane I will be driving with boost on low. Reality is the best thing I can do for economy would be leave the turbo off the car so to that point most of the time I will be driving with no boost. 91 octane is also the first stage of the build. after its running and I have a solid baseline I will tune for E85 and more power the I will be adding fuel capacity to the car and eventually I want to run an entire second fuel system (bi fuel). I also have interests in CNG but still unsure on that direction. Both E85 and CNG are close to work.

this is why the high compression ratio, the idea was to run the highest I could get away with on 91 and when driving on gasoline I will need to be mindful to make it work.

also keep in mind my tuner is not very involved in my decision making, he's mostly there to make sure I dont blow things up and is the local guy with the dyno/kpro guru. Funny thing is he had no idea you could bolt the A3 head on the A2 nor would he ever try

Also I love hearing about the luxury quality of the car since I bought it not running. It's really what I want.
