Today, a few kms after the second tank of E85 my logs show a important raise of the IDC and even the Lambda is a bit leaner.
I believe my fuelfilter is clogged...
I lowered the boost and it is Ok, I will run a few hundreds km slowly like that to "clean" my tank and will swap my filter.
Thxs for your input M.
