Thanks Pawpanas you are always a great help and inspiration xD
Whats the max boost pressure can I SAFELY run in a 100 octane EU rated fuel?And what power would result of that setup? So sorry but never did quite understand meth and water. I understand its good to pump up octane and prevent knock-->more boost-->more power. But is it easy to find? Is it practical for everyday use or only when power is needed?how is it just trow into the fuel tank? Widebody kit is out of question for now then ![]() If I got it right you told that if I go straight from stock to single T I may save some money in midle mods? Last, to achieve this kind of power is there any turbo size/model or brand you would recommend? Sorry for this never ending questions. Thanks m8

Meth is pretty easy to find - most hardware stores will have something called "denatured alcohol" ... it's a suitable substitute if you can't find methanol. Also, most companies that distribute race fuel will also distribute methanol. Alcohol+water (about a 75-25 or 90-10 mix) is very effective for everyday use AND when power is needed, for 600rwhp or 700rwhp or so. You don't just throw it in the tank (like you can with race fuel) - for alcohol injection, you need a whole separate system (pump+fogger+controls). You can make 500rwhp (through a 6spd) with the oem twins and a shot of nitrous. For 600rwhp (through a 6spd), you'll need approximately a T61 (61mm inducer) sized turbo.

Thanks again for the reply. However I dont think I will go for the meth path. I really dont know if the octane level of EU and USA match but 100 is the max you can find in the pump here.Like bp ultimate. Sorry to ask again but I wasnt quite sure...how much power on regular fuel is possible. When you said that turbo was good for 600 rwhp is it on pump gas?
How much would that turbo kit cost (average) You know a good place in europe to buy them? Thanks a lot again ![]()

Turbo kits are at least $4500 USD for one that is 100% complete, and with a professional fit and finish.
