do it you'll love it, best mod yet!
I have been running it for over 40k miles no problems as of yet, just choose a good tuner my friend.
good luck

I'm running the Cobb AP and it has base maps for E85 with 800cc injectors. I would get those if you plan on getting the cobb and using the stock turbo for some time. I would only buy larger injectors then that if you plan on upgrading the turbo in the near future. I have a custom tune for the E85 but having a base map from cobb allowed me to drive my car 1.5 hours to ivey after i installed all the parts, just saying.

Get the ID1000's or FIC1100's. E85 is a gateway drug to more boost.

I actually have a stock but I'm probably going to be buying the map fuel pump that Jfeo is selling

Isnt E85 require fuel lines to be upgraded? Also, changing fuel filter every 3k or so?
From my understanding it is a quiet hassle to switch due to maintenance and upgrades it requires?

I've been running it for about 4-5months now and i havent had any isues. All my tuner said was to run a 1/4 to 1/2 a tank of 91oct every 1000miles of e85 and I should be ok. And as of now everything seems ok
Im running stock fuel rail btw.

E85 is awesome and addictive! I switched over to my 91 setup on Sunday and cannot wait to switch back, the difference is ridiculous.

I run E85 all summer then switch to 91 in the winter. No problems. Don't need upgraded fuel lines.
