One more thing. If you change elevations to tune your car, your boost will change by about 2.5-3 psi for every 2500 foot change in elevation. SLC is about 4300 feet. You'll need to run a larger pulley to avoid overboosting. TEmpe Arizona is closer than California and Extreme Motorsports in Tempe has a great tuner. Their shop is A/C so the heat is not a problem. Tempe is about 1200 feet or 3000 feet drop. Talk to them and see what you think: 480-517-4969

Although I don’t pay attention as much as should, 10% ethanol blend is common in many states if not most. E85 is still quit rare, and I suspect will be more local to denser populations as you cannot pump it in same pipelines so it has to be trucked. Midwest will likely have better availability in short term.
