The ALPHA 5 is where the VR30 stops being a quick luxury sedan. This is the full bolt-on e85 build, what most VR30 owners just call FBO. Around 500 wheel horsepower and 500 lb-ft on e85, still spinning the factory turbochargers, from a package that finally gives the engine the fuel it can use and the exhaust path it never had.
Flex fuel is the foundation. A CAN bus kit measures ethanol content in real time and the calibration blends between its pump gas and e85 maps, so the car adapts to what is in the tank instead of the other way around. A Stage 1 high pressure pump and a drop-in low pressure pump handle the fuel side, and lower downpipes and a cat back exhaust open the path from the factory upper section rearward.
Take the car to your favorite speed shop for install and let your preferred tuner write the file, or contact us for a complete turnkey solution, installed by our technicians and calibrated by the team that has been developing VR30 tunes since the platform launched. Either path puts the same engineering on your car. The calibration is what turns it into 500 wheel horsepower, so plan for it and the ALPHA 5 delivers exactly what it promises.
What the ALPHA 5 Delivers
- –Around 500 WHP and 500 lb-ft on e85 with supporting calibration
- –Flex fuel capability that adapts to whatever blend is in the tank
- –Fuel system headroom to support the power on e85
- –Reduced exhaust restriction from the lower downpipes back through the cat back
- –Max effort on factory turbochargers, no engine-out work needed

Build It Your Way
| Option | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Enclosed Cold Air | Seals the filters off from hot underhood air, so inlet temps stay low and repeatable | Street |
| Open 80mm | Trades that isolation for maximum flow area and the most aggressive induction note | Track |
| Option | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| GESI Catted | Flows well while staying quiet and emissions friendly | Street |
| Race Catless | Gives up nothing to restriction. Off-road use only | Track |
Exhaust specification. Every ALPHA 5 ships with the Fast Intentions cat back in touring trim: 2.5 inch mandrel bent T-304 stainless tubing, 14 inch perforated core resonators inside the X pipe, 5 by 9 inch oval 14 inch touring mufflers and 4.5 inch dual wall polished tips. That combination stays civil at idle and cruise and opens up at wide open throttle, which is what most owners want on a car they drive. Fast Intentions also builds a 10 inch sport muffler they rate 15 to 20 percent louder, and a non resonated X pipe for owners who want more volume. If you want either of those, or a different brand of exhaust entirely, contact us before you order and we will spec the package around it.
Engineered, Not Adapted
Most companies design a part to fit the space. The SnailWorks Engineering Team designs to dominate it. The ALPHA 5 was developed as one system rather than a parts list, because fuel delivery, exhaust flow and intake temperature each set a ceiling on the others. Solve one and the next becomes the limit. The high pressure pump was sized against measured demand at around 500 wheel horsepower on e85 rather than picked from a catalog. Mandrel bent stainless steel piping keeps exhaust gas moving instead of creating backpressure. The heat exchanger keeps intake temperatures where the calibration expects them, pull after pull. Every piece was validated together on our own dyno, on the platform we have been calibrating since the VR30 launched. That is the difference between a part that fits and a part that performs.
The ALPHA Path
The ALPHA 5 builds straight on top of the ALPHA 4. The intake, lower downpipes and heat exchanger are the same hardware, so nothing you already bought gets thrown away. From here, the ALPHA 6 goes further into the exhaust and the fuel system components to safely run upgraded turbos.

Product Notes
- Installation labor is not included in the listed price, but can be completed by our trained technicians at our facility for an additional fee. Please contact our sales team directly for details and scheduling.
- Calibration required to reach advertised power, sold separately.
- E85 required to reach advertised power. The flex fuel system runs any blend, pump gas included, at reduced output.
- Cat back exhausts are hand built to order by Fast Intentions. We typically see a 2 to 3 week lead time, though Fast Intentions states it can run as long as 6 to 8 weeks. Quicker exhaust options may be available by special order. Contact our sales team before ordering if lead time matters to you.
- Product images are shown for display purposes and may not reflect the exact configuration selected. Refer to What Is In The Box for the components included with your build.
- Horsepower and torque numbers, quarter mile times, 0-60 mph, 60-130 mph and other recorded times are approximate and can vary significantly depending on numerous factors such as your dynamometer model, ambient temperature, elevation, tire selection, road surface material, fuel octane and quality, and vehicle weight, among many others. The advertised numbers herein are based on optimal conditions and utilizing proper supporting modifications, but are generally attainable results by an average customer. Your results may vary.
