Ok i use the best gas which is 91 here. I got an 03 EP3 which has 9.8 to 1. But i have the GReddy turbo which is only at 6psi which im gonna boost up to 8 or 10. Should i use octane booster? And if so. Which one? Just curious. Thanks

doesn't matter. just keep running premium gas but for some serious result get 101 octane gas. im pretty sure we got them somewhere in tucson at the race gas station i think but it ain't cheap. also i reccomend a tune

just run 91 if your only gonna be driving on the street.
theres no need to run race gas and octane booster doesnt do shit but drain your wallet.

Tune on 91 and your fine.

agreed, i run 16psi on a nice 91 octane tune on the road daily, no problems, plenty of power. i would only throw in race gas if you are going to have a tune for it and want to run it at the track. where in the streets are you going to notice the difference. not worth the cash.

race gas is fine.. 100 or 101 octane is ok to use as long as it is unleaded.

do not use leaded gasoline in a unleaded car

phx is far bro. If the price is right. I would go. I just need my car checked. I got my small tune up. I just want to make sure everything is good. And boost up my turbo

02 sensors are over rated lol.

10 psi boost on that comp ratio isnt going to need higher octane. You just need a tune. Im guessing you only have emanage...?
