IAT realy depends on your ic and compressor efficiency .

turbo possibilities are not dependent to fuel type but boost capabilities can  .
in some case you are limited by EGT, and the knock resistence of E85 can, in those case, let you raise the boost .

s4/rs4 K03/K04 are not the same as 1.8t k03/k04 .

so K03-1870 EXA is wrong one? Shocked So which one should I use for my K03 on 2001 1.8T AWT? Shocked

BTW: Found another compressor map also for K03...

The compressor map is useful to help you pick a correctly sized turbo.
Once the turbo is on the car, it is mostly useful to make sure you are not exceeding the manufacturer specs (which most people are doing anyway when tuning).

If it's already fitted to the car, then just boost until it stops making power or you hit some sort of component limit... then depending how the car is used, back down an amount, to leave a margin (less boost = more timing, less EGT, lower IAT).

Also, the compressor map shows how efficiently the compressor can compress air at which flow and pressure ratio and that's pretty much it.
Why you put fuel type into the discussion is beyond me.
