Default Zpi stage 0 running ethanol

Hello everyone,

There are a lot of ethanol stations around where I live in Pittsburgh PA. I have a turbo setup that I am going to be installing soon. It's a custom Zpi stage 0 basically. Anyway, I do not want to run high boost because my car already has quite a few miles on it and I would like it to last. I would be happy with the numbers a stage 0 would give me and that's why I have went that route. Anyway, I have done a lot of research on ethanol fuel and I think it would be a good way to go for a turbo setup. I know I have to get it tuned for ethanol which is fine with me because I have a greddy emanage blue laying around with a plug and play harness. My question is, I know they say there is no advantage to running an intercooler on a Zpi setup only running 6 psi, but would there be an advantage to it when running ethanol as a fuel? Because if I can make running the boost any safer for my motor I will do it. If anyone has any insight on this it would be appreciated. Thanks,

Wow ZPI kit.. where the hell did you acquire that ?
Yeah it should give a few more ponies with a proper dyno tune.

Haha, I kind of pieced it together by ordering various things from the classifieds and from websites. I didn't buy it all in one place lol. So what I will do then is look for an intercooler and until then I will run on regular gas.

Intercooler is a good idea no matter what kit or what anyone says.
