E-85 or turbo

I am torn between E85 tune or larger turbo. I am planning getting more power this spring and two options are Blouch Dom 1.5xtr on pump gas or E-85 with my Hta68 turbo. If I decide on going with corn I will need to get gauges ($600) plus hassle of fill up twice a week and about 340whp/400tq. If I go with 1.5xtr I could get same numbers (less torque) on pump and will not need to spend money for gauges (wideband, oil pressure, boost, gauge pod). I have a 2.5 hybrid built motor.
What would you do? I am just looking for ideas to help me make up my mind.
The money wise it's about $600 more if I go with larger turbo.
Thanks.

 

Or go e for now and bigger turbo turbo later

Win win

 

I c

I could do that too. I just think i will get bored with it. I really want to avoid filling up gas twice a week

 

I'm sure if you went bigger turbo, you'll be wanting e85 in the next week after that

 

I do have supporting mods for larger turbo I also don't want to cheap out on gauges. Even if I go with prosport it's about $450 with everything.

 

That's what I am afraid off. I might just find somebody to pump my gas.

 

i fill up once a week im on e85 200+miles a tank if you drive nice =)
also specs on motor? stock? 2.0 or 2.5?
340 out of a hta68 is some high hopes for a 2.0
if it means many thing i got a td06h 8cm 20g on my stock 2.0 and i only made 330 hp on e85 at dynoday

 

Hta68 and e85 is what i would do

 

It's 2.5 with 2.0 heads. I made around 300 on pump gas at RS. 200 miles is nice but not possible with my driving

 

Guess I gotta tune the driver also

 

E85 on a smaller turbo is way more fun than a larger turbo and pump gas.

 

PSSSSSTTT

Sending you a PM about a prosport gauge discount (10%).

 

I think it would be, I can get over 200 miles to a tank and I tend be a little rough with the car

 

It looks like E is the way to go for next year. If I get close to 200miles a tank that would be awesome.

 

well, once your tuned and everything, wanna race?
