Shoot for e48. It's so convenient to do a 50/50 mix.

Ed,
What's your schedule look like for the second week of April? Talking with a buddy of mine about roadtripping it out to your shop to get the install and tune done instead
That would be a great idea. I think we're all open in April, but best to contact Patrick and schedule with him.
Thanks

I have E46 in my tank right now (7 gallons E85, 7.5 gallons E10). Currently I'm hitting a fueling wall around 6300RPM, but I still have some things to try and investigate to see if we can get it working.

It really does! I would love to see it on a built motor where I didn't have to worry about torque levels. I think it would be a torque monster with a ridiculous powerband.

Sooo, here's an example of how much hell I put my cars through during product and tuning testing. This is my subframe with a nice crack developing and the subframe/pendulum bushing starting to pull itself out of the subframe! I guess it didn't like all my track and street abuse along with all the extra power.
Oh well... time for an upgrade!
Thanks

Can the R handle more torque than the gti? I'm wondering how much stronger the R's internals are.

A good read for those interested in design changes on the EA888 Gen3 platform:
http://australiancar.reviews/GolfR-Mk7_CJXC-CJXB_Engine.php
They also did a review on the design changes for the GTi. Pretty in depth.
In a nutshell, the Pistons are forged, but the rods are not.

Doing some e-tuning with the EQT Vortex in this nice cold weather. This is a 3rd gear pull in a MT GTI... that's 28psi at 3000RPM! Boost is overshooting a little, but I think that's a new record for spool on this turbo

Ed,
Do you think the limitations of E4X are based on the Walbro pump? Would going with a more potent brushless pump like the one from Iroz make a difference?

Nope. We run the walbro 450 on full E85 to over 600whp on other applications. The ultimate limitation are the injectors at this point.

From the walk through on the golf is20 swap, this looks like ez cake to do.
Except the coolant.... god how I hate dealing with coolant.
I think I'm going to use my vacuum extractor I use for oil changes for it and just replace it with fresh coolant.
How hard are these cars to refill? Do we need to worry about burping the hoses or anything of the sort to get air trapped out, or are the engines pretty good about doing that on their own?
