Default e85 conversion with a b18 and boost

due to raising gas prices i am looking into converting to E85. i am looking at the flex full gold http://www.change2e85.com/servlet/StoreFront.

all it is, is a box that connects inline from the ECU to the injectors. and can be removed at any time. what i want to know is, does anyone have any experience with E85 and turbocharging?

what kind of boost pressures would be safe to run? if no one knows by the time i do my swap (and god knows when the turbo kit) i guess i will be the ginny pig.

I know a little about the Full Flex kits. They work great with superchargers and turbos. This is a quote from a dude with an S2000 and aftermarket turbo and eManage Greedy and many other crazy mods:

hey got the Full Flex on and took it to the dyno.last time @68 deg we made 538 rwhp this time 100% e85 76 deg outside 4 more deg eng timing it made 551 rwhp !!is's working great with no problems.allan.

I have the Full Flex on all my cars and it is the best thing that I have ever done! $369 gets you a 4 cylinder kit and 10-20% increase in power. Plus the savings on fuel. Great way to thumb your nose at Hugo Chavez and the middle east. Support Amercian Farmers!

If you check out the videos and podcast links on http://www.change2E85.com, there are some really good audio clips from Gear Head Radio and Drive Radio. The two show hosts seem to really like the Full Flex. One of them drag races with the Full Flex.

thanks for answering some of my questions about full flex. i plan on either doing a mini-me swap on my d15b and putting on a turbo kit and flex fueling it.

the other option is to buy a jdm d15b vtec from hmotors and build that for boost and flex fuel it. what i would like to know is, instead of flex fuel, think a hondata would be able to do the same thing?
