Whats wrong with the windshield washer tank? I dont know which one to choose! Both seems a bit hardcore for me, but yet again... ahah. But seriously is there any advantage/disadvantage of running meth or e85? Or A advantage meth has over e85 or vice versa?

Meth vapors can and have resulted in engine bay fires, even when running 50% meth/50% water mixes. The windshield washer tank and cap weren't designed for such a high concentration of meth. If you do a search there's plenty of posts warning about using the windshield washer bottle from a few members who have had fires.

I just filled up with 4 gal of e85 for the first time today. Took the car a while to adjust on JB4 G5 Map 5, but it definitely registered on the butt dyno after a few on ramp runs!

ISO or integrated G5? Glad to hear it registered!

Just the G5 board as it came from Burger. I still havent figured out what ISO does besides vague comments like "it runs smoother".

AMEN, seeking answers as well. So basically car ran normal, plus some extra power?

regular G5 is integrated...ISO is a isolated boost control system.

no extra power, it;s about smoother and more precise/predictable boost control

I've got the regular jb4 an no USB cable, catless dp's, dci, an axle back exhaust, and a 7in fmic on the way. I've done two tanks of e85. First with 2.5 gallons and the second with 5. The car certainly felt better all around. No bogging down, smooth throttle all around. Just plain quick!

However reading all I can about e85 I think I need to pick up a USB cable to get some logs and possibly the g5 board.
