[QUOTE="5.0Black, post: 16370365, member: 172762"] No, I hear you. I started using E85 to boost the octane in my RS3 from my tuner as opposed to a more traditional octane booster. This was back when I was having some gas quality issues in Norfolk. Now I just tend to splash about a gallon in there to be a little safe so I don't have to datalog after every time I top off. Yea, that is a large reason why I went with the Phase 1 kit was to get CARB stickers under my hood. Hoping that when I upgrade I can keep the CARB stickers under my hood lol. Truthfully I never used Roush's tune. I read very mediocre things about the Roush tune that came with the kit so I just jumped to VMP. Certainly pleased with it, I also have a tune for VMP for emissions that is supposedly about everything you can do from a tuning perspective for emissions so I don't have a need for the Roush tune. I haven't tested it yet, but probably won't have to until after I am out CA (still registered in Norfolk for a couple of years lol). I think you have it right with the pulley, pump booster and a tune for VP101, a smaller pulley and a pump booster. My only concern at that point would be the cylinders in the engine, I hear around 700hp you should do some work with the pistons. I also will need better rubber lol. [/QUOTE]
