I am getting my turbo kit, intercooler and all my gauges installed sat. I have a couple of questions should i put in premeium gas 93 octane before i get my turbo installed so it will run on that??? Also the shop said it would be stupid for them to tune it if i am not going to run more then stock psi until i get a boost controller is this true?

93 octane is good for turbos less chance of detonation it depends on how much boost your going to be pushing.
when you have a turbo, you ALWAYS have to run premium. i suggest that at least 2 tankfuls before you get it installed you put 93 in there to ensure that you have no detonation issues from th e left over 87 in your tank.
so I should put premium gas in there now? isn't that bad for the engine b4 it is a turbo... i heard that the higher octane gas makes the d16y8 engine harder to combust the fuel and you lose horse power but is it ok if i can use premium w/o a turbo i just don't want to harm anything in my engine
I hope its not bad for that motor because that is all I have put in it from day one.edhgreatone said:so I should put premium gas in there now? isn't that bad for the engine b4 it is a turbo... i heard that the higher octane gas makes the d16y8 engine harder to combust the fuel and you lose horse power but is it ok if i can use premium w/o a turbo i just don't want to harm anything in my engine
92 octane bad for an engine? no.....go ahead and put it in
if your car doesnt call for higher octane gas you shouldnt run it, your wasting your cash and its un needed
cleaner blah
its just helps to avoid detonation
your going to clog your car if your car doesnt call for it
when boosted run 93.......

i am running that just before i get my turbo installed on saturday... damn i am going to have to burn a hole tank hmmmmm that may take awhile
wait......on tuesday you said you were gettin this wednesday....what happened? and why wouldnt it be good to run high octane gas?
i have the kit already its not being installed till saturday... the kit is used but its crazy its in such good shape it looks brand new i am very pleased with it
you need to always run premium when boosting, I dont know what all this bs about wasting money and hurting an engine from running a higher octane...you lucky bastards that get 93 octane shouldnt complain, Cali is stuck with 91...BAH
haha thats true 93 octane thats great turbos going to love that I feel bad for anybody in cali with the strict SMOG and what not
SeanMc300 said:there is no need to run high octane fuel in your car, unless you are turbo'd. so dont waste the money. youll be fine on a tank of lower octane gas. its not like if you use anything less than 93 youre gonna blow up.
hes getting his turbo on saturday, i was just saying to fill up a tank or 2 before getting it with premium to ensure hes got 93 octane in the whole tank, instead of installing the turbo and then switching- because you know that as soon as he gets it, hes gonna go driving around using every bit of boost he has. on a tank of even partial 87, with no tuning and just the greddy stock fmu, thats a recipe to rape his motor.
haha recipe to rape...haha, so true...handlebarsfsr said:hes getting his turbo on saturday, i was just saying to fill up a tank or 2 before getting it with premium to ensure hes got 93 octane in the whole tank, instead of installing the turbo and then switching- because you know that as soon as he gets it, hes gonna go driving around using every bit of boost he has. on a tank of even partial 87, with no tuning and just the greddy stock fmu, thats a recipe to rape his motor.
yea, it sucks with cali's smog s**t, everything on my car was perfect except for nox...pissed me off
lol.... yeah well supposevly the guy installating my turbo kit has the whole laptop setup to tune the emanage but he said its a waste if i am keeping it at stock boost
then why does the b16 say to use premium gas only and i know most people here use premium that have an siSeanMc300 said:there is no need to run high octane fuel in your car, unless you are turbo'd. .
