Re: Octane

use the high octane stuff in your turbo. it will help to prevent detonation.

non-turbo's do just fine with the lower octane.

at least this is what i've always been advised to do....

Re: Octane

I've been up to 10psi on regular a few times with no detonation. I don't push my car that hard for sustained lengths of time though.

Re: Octane

i would only use Premium, its the best, and you want the best for your car right? if i put plus in my NA, it will PING really bad. the higher octane, the better your engine runs.
