Gasoline Problems, Need Help!
Ok I'm a ------ moron and I forgot to empty my tank before I started working on my turbo. Now I have a half a tank of regular 87 octane. Does anyone know what I should do? Should I put octane booster in my tank and just run it dry or should I put a half a tank of premium 93 octane. Any input would be helpful. Thanks

Does it matter? I thought the whole idea of these turbo projects was boost at a low cost, and stock internals.
Does this mean that we would need to run higher octane for boost? (I know it would be better, but is it needed?)

As i have been told... shittier octane gas makes your engine knock under boost... thats why your supposed to put high octane gas... drive it around.. dont go lead footing it... just take it easy.... if it makes the noise or you feel its driving like ----... go home... and empty the tank out.... (syphon pump it) or something...

Re:Gasoline Problems, Need Help!
can you not drive your car for a few days without beating the ---- out of it? just go easy on it, until its gone, or put some octane boost in.. it will help slightly.
87 oct is the worst thing.. blah

. Anyway, if you dont run high octane, your pretty much fucked.
