Default md321v upgrade with bio ethanol

hi been looking at upgrading my turbo. i have a md321h which has been on since i upgrade to the 2.5 cdb but dosnt feel like it did when it had the 2.0 semi in, plus i could do with a bit more bhp im not greedy 600 too much for the road which is why im not going rotated so the md321v looks the best. also it looks like bio eth map would work too morrisons round the corner. also can i get 2 maps with my motec 800 1. v power 2. bio eth.
will i need to upgrade injectors from 650.
cheers all advise appreciated.

650's won't be good enough, you would need either 750cc or 850cc depending on how far the map goes

Think I'd be looking at 850cc or 1000cc to be getting the most from the turbo.

With a motec you can add a flex fuel sensor and use 4d mapping to allow the car to automatically allow for any mix of E85 and fuel, so you don't have to always refuel the car in Wellingborough! I think the sensor is about £500, but there would be a lot of mapping involved to get it just right.

You will need 1000+cc injectors unless you can run very high fuel pressure.
