Cam, I don't think you can fit the turbo under the rear tin, without removing it. If the turbo sits too low, you will need a scavenging tank for the oil return line (which has no pressure) and a scavenging pump. For the gravity to take care of the return line, the lowest part turbo has to be mounted above the oil level inside the pump otherwise it smokes under certain situations if not all the time.
VWDMC, I can't give you exact figures since we do not have E85, but from mixing regular Gas and Alcohol, which some people do, the results will probably be the same in terms of power. Less forgiving when it comes to ignition timing and a bit hotter, but nothing too significant. I wasn't suggesting you guys went after pure alcohol of methanol for this use. I was suggesting the use of E85 to begin with. I think it will probably even work better than Brazilian Hidrated alcohol, since water doesn't burn, it simply takes space in the combustion chamber. Gas on the other hand burns hotter than alcohol so a bit combined with alcohol must make a pretty good fuel. Without the hard start and with slight less specific consumption.
Regards,
Marcelo
