@TWINTURBOS octane booster works it’s just expensive and unnecessary plus it can leave the orange coating/residue from the mmt in the octane boosters, if you need to use id say use like Lucas or something that’s safe w your catalytic converters unless your going stage 2 but even then I’ve seen idiots use octane booster w lead substitute in vehicles not meant for it (only for off roading) and have damaged their catalytic converters

however with that being all said on 97 octane I think I made 30-33 whp more then 94 so basically 30 points up from 94, when I dyno it last time w higher octane fuel but higher then that I’m not sure of numbers but I’ve noticed the higher the octane the better the car shifts, the faster it shifts and the turbo is very very responsive and feels very on point compared to the 94 lol but if your stock You’ll only be able to utilize 93/94 at most even then the maximum potential out of the air to fuel ratio won’t be matched without the proper tuning, High octane and a solid intake or good air filters

If you can diy, CT/walmart have 0w-40 euro mobil1 on sale regularly for under $30. I picked up too many and been doing oil changes every 6 months. Oil comes out black and butt dyno feels good and smoother after.
Also from gta, we should start new thread for torontonians

Honestly if you guys are stage 1 use a healthy blend of c85 or octane booster don’t over do it unless you wanna murder your cats 😬 learnt the hard way and my tuner dude said my assumptions are not accurate and that the ec stage 1 tune causes the egt “exhaust gas temperature” to be wayyy to damn high and that’s what killed the cats so it’s definitely not the c85 Or the octane booster, so if you guys have a stage 1 eurocharged tune might wanna get your cats checked it’s preferred when you tune your car to get a full catback or downpipes atleast
