Do I need to run premium gas with a turbo?
 

Is the highest octane gas a must with a turbo or can regular 87 octane do the trick if managed well with afc hack.

Look at octane as an anti-knock drug. the higher the number the better the fuel will resist knock/detonation. a high octane fuel is always recommended when running high compression levels. obviously when your boosted, your adding to your already fairly high cylinder compression. just use the 91 man! ;D

If u wanna go crazy go to the paint store or arts store and get a few galons of toluene and mix that in with 94.
Its what they use to run in the 80s on the turbo F1 cars ;D

This sounds interesting. Whats the ratio you mix it at? My buddy (back when we were young) experimented with octane booster in his special 50. It was about 90% octane booster and 10% gas. It was fast for about 10 seconds before it gernaded
