there is a team in Houston (TSOL) that races the 24 Hours of Lemons with a 1992 9000 turbo 5 speed. The run E85. It gets poor mileage (about 9mpg - my c900 running pump 93octane got about 14mpg) compared to other setups but it is racing, water does exit the exhaust pipe (it's a shortened affair and exits in front of the left rear tire) and it boosts power as would be expected. I don't believe they have done any changes to the fuel delivery system at all, from the pump to the line to the engine. they did change the fuel bar with injectors to one from a Mercedes (I was told but not sure) and don't know if the FPR is stock or not. They finished 41st in the MSR Houston event a couple of weeks ago. The car has run in two complete races there.
I raced against it in February this year, and drove it in October this year. It will also race in February next year. It is pretty fast without much in the way of other modifications, the exhaust pipe being the main modification.
