with its anti knock ability? This is getting close to a diesel turbo engine.
Put stage 3 heads on it to flow better it could be a wild street car.
Of course if it worked you would be in a world of hurt if one put 93 premium in it.
But my thought is to optimize the setup from the ground up to maximize E85
fuel for street use. Thoughts? AEM would be a must for something like this.

a local evo owner/builder recently did this and ran 10s on a STREET driven/STOCK evo9 turbo. this car is nearly full weight and did it on E95 fuel.
granted i dont know how long those aluminum rods he used are going to last with him driving the car often.
