Max boost WITHOUT Alcohol Injection?
Whats the max boost you guys are running without using alcohol injection (or retarding the timing) without any problems. I have an external wastegate thats preset to 5 psi but at higher rpms it goes up till 6 psi. I have the Profec E01 but havent installed it yet. How much boost can I run without using alchy inj on a stock engine?
Secondly, those of you using the alchy inj, did you guys ever had any kinda problems with it? And what mixture do you guys use? 50-50? Or pure methanol. Its methanol right?

Rep Power: 0 I have my alcohol set for 7psi so I say 7psi...I'm running like 90/10 alcohol but I'm going to switch to methanol soon...I have it in my garage but I'm just waiting to run out of alcohol b/c i'm too lazy to drain the alcohol 
EDIT: I run 5psi low and 8psi high so at 5spi, no alcohol for me

At 250whp Pure Methanol owns you.

I am just running 5-6 psi without alcohol right now and when I put my foot flat in the third gear I get tire spin (205/55 R15) when the turbo spools up to peak power.

I need new tires though. I just bought 16" wheels and now looking around for tires. I dont have much options where I live. The best I can do is Yohohama AVS sport or Goodyear Eagle F1.
What tire size do you recommend? 205/50 or 215/45 ??? This is also my daily drive car so I am kinda leaning towards 205's. But do let me know what you think!
