So even if you upgrade turbos you probably won't be able to utilize any additional fueling like PI or meth
I actually had no clue. Damn... Well that blows. And to be honest, I dont even know what PI and meth are. I'm very new to this and I'm trying to learn and understand using fuel alternatives and mixtures.

On stock turbos you won't need PI (port injection) or meth (methanol injection). On upgraded turbos the fuel system can only really handle up to around E30 so if you want to be able to run full E85 to get the most out of the upgraded turbos thats when people use PI or meth in order to increase their fueling capability. So with E54 only being available it probably wouldn't be worth it on upgraded turbos to spend all the money just to run barely more ethanol than you could run on the stock fuel system
