Your car can run on E85 perfectly fine, providing you have enough fuel pump/injector to provide the needed fuel. Ideally, I'd recommend a fuel controller that could control timing, unlike your SAFC.

As for how much more boost you could run it will vary car by car depending on modifications, but if you open up your exhaust by getting a downpipe/testpipe and gutting pre-cats you should be able to max out your current setup... then it is time to look into a better fuel controller, bigger IC's, and a larger turbo setup.

Think of it like this. Running E85 is like running 110 race gas. You can safely run significantly more boost without worrying about detonation.
