I wonder if running the stage 0+ or stage 1 91 oct maps would clean things up even more??

That's what I'm hoping for, I think my cat might be getting clogged because I did get a code for low cat efficiency which I cleared and hasn't came back.

I'm waiting till I get my catless DP to tune the car. Once I get my HPFP i'm definitely going to start putting more E in my car.

Is a flex fuel kit worth it? Why purchase it if I could already run without ?

I researched getting a flex fuel kit but decided not to get it. My tuning goals though were only ever to run E20 to E30 and highest MHD settings being the stage 2+ 93/95 octane maps. When I fill up I just put 3 gallons in and I should be within that E threshold. If you are planning to run the E50 or higher maps then that is where a flex kit would make sense.

Here's one last log from this morning.

Honestly my goal is 500-550 whp but keeping it reliable as it's my daily.

I want to upgrade the turbo in the future after getting the DP + HPFP. I know it's achievable with stock turbo but I don't want to max it out. Do you think 550 ish is possible with a new turbo and E30 ?

When it's all said and done:
Turbo
DP
HPFP
Injectors?
OTS Tune/Custom Tune

Hopefully all those will get me to my goal safely and reliably !

Also thanks for everyone's help I appreciate it !!

The log looks similar to the last one. My take is that things look somewhat clean but will get better with mods and more ethanol.

550 whp is very doable on a bigger turbo and an ethanol mix. Might want to research and talk to others who have experience running bigger turbo setups for their takes on it. I'm not the expert on doing that.
