I had the pleasure of tuning a very clean and well put together RS-STI Swap earlier this week. This was a GC RS with complete 06 STI drivetrain including the 6MT, complete TBE, Fuel pump, Injectors, MBC, running E85. The customer drives the car very aggressively so he requested a relatively mild E85 tune. Here is what we ended up with at about 21psi peak tapering to 13.5psi by readline:
This car had previously been tuned elsewhere and the customer was very happy with the improved power, response, and drivability.
Thanks

This particular tune for example is running relatively relaxed timing and a relatively rich a/f ratio. This is what really makes it mild.
So what would you consider to be mild and why? How much tuning have you personally done on E85? Got any results you want to share and compare?
Thanks

Just finished up another car and got it tuned on the dyno. This is a customer who drove about 3 hours to have us work on his 06 STI. He had a previous setup done at another shop out of state and was running a a smaller turbo on E85. He now wanted to switch back to pump gas but still keep some good power, so he decided to size up the turbo significantly.
He already had a built engine, so he decided to go a bit big. He chose the Forced Performance Red and left the rest to us. We installed the new turbo, an EQ Tuning FMIC kit with blow-through MAF, a Tial BOV, Perrin EL Headers, Tigwerks EWG UP with Tial 38mm EWG, TGV Deletes, Perrin Inlet, and an Aeromotive in-tank fuel pump. The final setup is:
Built Shortblock
FP Red Turbo
EQ Tuning FMIC Kit
Tial BOV
Perrin 3" Inlet
TGV Deletes
Perrin EL Headers
Tigwerks EWG UP with Tial 38mm EWG
PE850cc Injectors
Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Pump
Hallman MBC
Perrin CATTED TBE
EQ Tuning Custom Tune on 91 Octane Pump Gas
After about 4 hours on the dyno, this is where we ended up:
That's 360whp/329ft-lbs at 21psi peak boost on straight 91 Octane pump gas, revving out to 7400RPM. The power levels are awesome considering the car retains a catted downpipe and the heads have no work done to them. Even though this is a bit on the laggy side for a lot of people, revving out to 7400RPM still gives a nice usable powerband.

1. Understood "complete Sti drivetrain" to mean all stock components.
2. I was looking at the torque value, but mentioned hp.
Given that this engine has forged pistons, the torque value is acceptable.
