Hello all, if someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. First off let me start by listing the modifications my STi has, then I'll explain my dilemma.


- HKS carbon ti exhaust
- AEM A/F, Defi Boost, EGT, & Oil Temp gauges
- Id1000 injectors
- Perrin fuel rail
- AEM v2 standalone
- Top feed tgv deletes w/ port matching
- Stage 1 phenolic spacers
- Mildly ported Built heads, stage 1 gsc cams with valve springs, retainers, lockers, guides
- Ferrea valves
- Tien coil overs ss
- STi front strut bar
- STi H brace
- Kart boy end links front and bac
- ARP headstuds
- Grimmspeed EBCS
- IAG stage 2 block
- IAG garret gtx series turbo oil feed & avcs lines
- AEM 3.5 bar MAP sensor
- AEM intake temp sensor
- Cosworth high flow intake manifold
- AEM 320lph fuel pump
- AutoMeter a-pillar triple gauge
- Innovate ethanol content percent gauge
- AEM oil pressure gauge
- AEM flex fuel sensor kit w/ IAG lines & -6an fittings
- Aeromotive A1000 FPR
- ETS STi full rotated kit upgrade w/ turbo manifold, up-pipe, downpipe, upper ic piping, 4" intake, TiAL 44mm wastegate, garret gtx3076r .82 turbo (all V-Band), set up for Speed Density
- ETS 3" FMIC for rotated kit, AIT bung (speed density), & hks bov flange
- Exedy stage 4 HD twin metallic disc clutch kit
- Killer B Motorsports Ultimate Oil Pick Up
- OEM thermostat
- OEM crank pulley
- All new OEM seals and gaskets


So, the car is currently running on an open source tuned stock ecu, 3" intake and set up for 93 octane. The AEM v2 will not even allow the car to idle properly much less allow for an E85 tune to be applied. I've got all the necessary hardware (to my knowledge) for the E85 tune. My tuner suggest I call AEM and let them know the issue with the AEM v2 and see if I can send it to them and have it reflashed/updated. I would like to hear some opinions and suggestions of what the best/easiest, but still efficient and quality, way to go about getting my STi on the korn would be. Thanks in advance guys.
