Not many people on the 2.0 platform have used or talked about ideal races tune, but I'm 3 days into running ideals e85 tune and Wow. This tune is a absolute game changer. The power gains from this tune are unlike any other tune and it truly changes the whole experience of the car. 315 WHP from there tune has got to be an understatement, I beat a stage 2 440i, and walk scats. (With video proof) I can't speak on tunes other than EC and Ideal but i strongly believe ideals tune blows every other tune out of the water. There are some small issues that have popped up in my first 3 days (error codes), UPDATE, my E levels at pump tested above e85, so I added 2 ish gallons of 91 mixed in solved the issue.no error codes since. but I'm not worried at all, Eric from ideal is fast to respond, much faster than the guys at EC and acutely knows what he is talking about and how to make appropriate changes. He tackled the issue right away and going to make changes updating my tune. Changing over from eurocompultion to ideal race was a night and day difference... don't get me started on EC. EC absolutely sucks, i can follow up on that if anyone wants me to elaborate. IF YOU HAVE A 2.0 AND WANT TO GET TUNED, TRUST ME AND GO WITH IDEAL YOU WONT REGRET IT.

Competizione Cat back, IdealRace intake and transmission tune. Thought about adding madness blow off valve but not sure. I dont dog my car but im also not afraid to lay into either.
I also use Archoil 6200 fuel additive, not sure if it makes a difference but i know the stuff worked really good in my powerstroke.
In Houston we have plenty of e85 pumps, the one i use, I check and it is at 85

40k miles on the car when it blew up, oil changes every 4-5k miles.
CA E85 so it’s at lowest e80. I tested between e83 and 85 every time

That doesn’t sound “ideal” pun intended. You aren’t alone atleast 5 others have talked about their engines being blown from ideals tune

Wow.
Anyway according to my local mechanic to whom I mentioned the case, if it really is a crankshaft failure, it shouldn't really directly be E85 related.
