You need more e85, so the ecu needs to adjust LT fuel trim way up, 30 some % in the article, IIRC. Do it too fast and you might be lean. Yes, you have better knock resistance, but still want the fuel.

It seems like that's 'safe', and you'll get somewhat degraded performance until the ECU catches up. Switching back suddenly is disastrous, of course. Unfortunately E85 is just unavailable here in CA, otherwise I'd be thinking about E85 software for the Audi. -Z _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
