Default Flex upgraded Ecoboost turbo fun!

These are not the same turbos as an F150 but just to show you how much our motors love E85 and big timing once you have a built fuel system.
I wish my Flex was a true AWD and wouldn't over power the tires so easily.
This is a preview of what will be happening to my wife's EB 4x4 this summer, E85, big timing and tuning.

I attempt to launch with my new tune that has 21+ degrees of timing with the boost leak fixed, it's pretty funny. I ripped open the rubber hose from the rear turbo to the plastic pipe within 4 hours of installing my new turbos, I replaced it with a silicone hose today no more leak and no more traction in first and now sometimes second.


Another video, this time just a regular pull

Wow! That was impressive! Bigger turbos and E85?

So the F150 can take the E85, you just need to upgrade the fuel system? I don't know much about E85 obviously.

It will take auxiliary fuel system, additional injectors and a fuel management system to control them.
