you're spending X amount of money on your turbo setup, and your trippin over a few gallons of gas? it's really not even worth stressing over...just drain it and granny the car up to the gas station when you go for a test drive.

If its a full tank of gas Octane Booster isnt going to do ----, itll be like 87.2 octane. id run it down as much as possible the fill up with race gas or at least 92 but dont boost on 87.

I'd say drive ALOT until it's empty and then go fill it up with premium

Or just be really careful and stay out of boost

Dude, just drive it. run it low, fill up with premium. run it low. fill it up again with premium. rinse, lather and repeat.

I was waiting for that. Octane booster can raise your points at most .5 Octane. THe stuff really doesn't do ----. It has been tried, tested and trued many times in lab reports. Your better of home brewing you own High Octane Gasoline and not spend your Ricer dollars on Octane booster!!!!

go to your local paint store and buy some Toluene. Pritty expensive, mix it in a 1-1 ratio with your 87 octane, and theres your octane booster.... it adds about 6 points to your octane rating
