Possible but it would need to support a HPFP as it seems most cars need it without MPI. I don't think UM is too keen on the upgraded HPFP's, so I doubt it'll happen.

Minor weather delay in Chiberia and now I kinda made a commitment, to YOU
All I'm hearing are excuses

I already asked about the HPFP and that is definitely not something they were touching, sadly.
Wasn't the OPs car in this thread tuned on that fueling hardware first? Or was the HPFP on from the beginning and an LPFP added later for the E30 dyno. I can't keep track anymore!

10's are coming as soon as the weather cooperates out here! This car is making about 100whp less than mine
-- Ed
10s on your car or customers? If customer, that would be a tall order on 91 crapola.

Nope. That car had a HPFP initially and added a LPFP for the E36 tune. Some GTI’s just barely get away with the stock HPFP, but others need that upgraded as well. The turbo could be run on stock fueling at lower boost of course.

No way its happening on 91 Octane. It would have to be an ethanol blend at least.

I did a quick 60-130 run today in my Golf R. This is full weight plus standard junk including a kit seat. I only did one run, so I’m sure it can be improved on. All things considered, happy to see under 9s. This is with our Vortex turbo on E30 (downpipe, intake, intercooler, HPFP, LPFP, stock exhaust).

I stopped by the EQT shop yesterday looking to meet Ed, get a ride in the shop car and order up some work for my MK7R. Unfortunately he wasn't there and the Turbos are back-ordered. Back to lurking I go..

I’m so curious for UM EQT results
same here.. but with fbo everything and 450LPFP, port injection and E85 (not sure what mix ratio) i think it will be on a stock block around 420 lbs/ft capped at wheels. (for longevity/reliability) and close to 500whp. not too shabby. the torque curve when we see it, will tell alot.

Have you seen Railroaders TQ curve on E50?
He keeps having to turn it down in the mid range. I'm sure UM will produce a meat torque curve, but if for some reason they don't, it's not the turbos fault.
