[Biturbos4] E-85 Ethanol

[Adam Baillie]

You need to retune for E85. E85 does not create as much energy as  
gasoline so the mixture needs to be richer. VAST sells a kit for E85  
that includes new injectors, tune and fuel pressure regulator

Other then that, it will work fine but with the tune you need to  
always run E85.

Gas milage goes down to about 15 mpg as well.
