E85 is a crazy suggestion, and there is no way he should even consider it.

750CC Injectors should support 500+ WHP, a complete overkill.. Perhaps run 450CC's just to be safe though.

ECU, i'd recommend AEM V2 EMS just for the ease of install, and it's extremely easy to learn and program.
Plus it gives you access to cool Ignition, Boost Control, and Wideband Sensor mods down the track.

I wouldn't bother with the Intake Manifold or the Throttlebody, they're side-grades.. And for your expected power levels you'll see little to go gain for the $'s spent.
Better off using this money to put towards a good BoV, Wastegate and downpipe.. As these are 3 critical items you do not want letting you down.
I Agree that he wont make any more than 200WHP.

E85 is a consideration in my opinion. Is there any particular reason why you think it should be avoided at not even considered? There are a lot of people saying good things about it and a lot of people saying bad. At the end of the day you’re going to have your haters and lovers of the product. Do some reading on E85. There is a lot of material out there that can help you make your mind up. I personally know several people running E85 on turbo and non turbo cars and they see the gains and benefits of the product. The only cons I can think of with E85 is that if you can't let it sit there as it will form a substance at the bottom of your tank which you will then need to clean, your car will need to be driven every couple of days. The other thing is that it's not readily available everywhere just yet.

As for the 750cc Injectors. I only suggest this for E85. If you go for a 450cc injector and run E85 you’re just going to max them out. Injector Duty will be through the roof which is something you do not want. If you’re going to be running 98 Unleaded then indeed, 750cc’s are going to be overkill and you should probably stick with something along the lines of a 450cc which should be more than sufficient to run 98 Unleaded.

I also agree that the Intake Manifold and Throttle body are “Side-Grades”. As for seeing little gains I will have to disagree with you there. The larger intake manifold will act like a plnenum. With more air going through you will allow more air to be stored in the body of the manifold which will allow it to be readily available when required. This is going to do two things, Increase Lag and Increase Power while on boost. Throttle body is just nice to have if you consider an intake manifold.

There are a bunch of ECU’s out there. Just choose one that you will be able to get a lot of support for. The AEM is also a very good unit for tuning but from memory I think it will costs you more. When it comes down to choosing an ECU, my recommendation is to choose a tuner that you trust first. Use the ECU that your tuner is most comfortable tuning.

Always good to have a good down pipe. Most turbo kits you purchase will supply you one to suit and if it doesn’t invest in having a reputable company make you one. As for the wastegate and BOV, these are generally supplied to you in a turbo kit as well and if it isn’t then consider getting some quality bits as this will affect your boost fluctuation.
