Here is what tuners are getting out of turbo on E85. Similar numbers to V5 turbo on pump fuel. To be seems like awesome results if you have access to e85.

A little over 400 HP. You can come very close to that with an IS38 on E85. And a standard Vortex on E85 will get you around 460 HP.

Probably closer to 450whp given their dyno reads about 360whp for an e85 Mk7R (268awkw for is38 +e85 vs. 303awkw for gt2260s) so multiply their numbers by about 12% to match typical dynojet measurements). This is in line with what others have quoted at safe turbo speeds.

And compared to an IS38, the stock shaft, bearing, and kevlar insert are gone. Compared to a Vortex, you get a "free" wg actuator, TMD, and TIP. I think the Stage 1 makes a lot of sense for the price point.
