I don't know what the lpe can support but I would imagine if u r making north of 650 with 14 maybe close to 750 u might be able to run a mixture of it but I would bet u run out of pump and injector if u ran straight e85

How big is that downpipe? If it's 3 or 3.5 you will choke it before you get anywhere near those numbers

You can switch and you will see great results. But the limiting factor is going to be backpressure. I would honestly stick with a nice water/meth kit. Once you stop gain power per pound of boost you know the turbo is choked. You will find that limit with water/meth and pump. Especially if you have the 83/87/92 turbine wheel instead of the 96. That turbo needs at the very least a 4 inch downpipe and ideally 5 inch, but as you said, there just isn't any room!

Just hook up the water meth and up the boost around 15-16psi. That's where you will run into backpressure problems anyways and call it quits. Best of luck, whatever you decide!
