The lowest injectors you can go for e85 are 850cc. You can ride on those no problem. Plus a 255 fuel pump and tune. Done. I can't begin to explain the +'s to E85

VF-52 is not a viable option for him, it's a legacy/GR WRX formatted flange.
If you don't have a decent reason on going front mount definitely cheaper to stay TMIC, if it's your daily and you're not THAT close to E-85 it can be a hassle, at that point definitely have two maps available to switch between. Also your build will depend on what you want to use the car for, just can't seem to think that the set up mentioned earlier in the posts would be for a daily driven car.
@Eric, not all vf series turbos will hit 300whp, I know mine won't
Also remember the drastic power drop after 5500RPM for USDM Vf series, heard that 48's aren't as bad but...

All VF series can hit 300whp with the right mods and of course E85. Without the juice you'll be happy you made 270whp.
