I would like to run e85 for convenience. I am currently still on stock turbos. Only shooting for around ~400 until i get a shotgun setup. I've read it's possible, my question was whether I should replace the stock LPFP altogether with a Walbro 450, or add one onto the stock pump using hobbs/jb4 trigger to not stress the EKP?

Replace with a 450. My 450 was pretty solid past 500whp but I needed a twin-pump setup to break into the 6's.

I'm 450 LPFP, bigger fuel lines up to a healthy HPFP, E85 and stock snails circa 20psi ... no problem.

I plan on doing bigger lines along with an ethanol sensor. I keep looking into flex fuel, I just wish it would work with jb4... I like being able to lower boost quickly, custom map 6 on my phone etc. Feel free to change my mind lol

If you're upgrading fuel lines, you can also drill out the stock fuel rail for larger capacity (or just get an aftermarket one with your PI).
