Question For You Turbo Guys

[hockeybronx]

So I thought alot about Turbocharging or Supercharging my car, now I'm glad I didn't because of the gas prices.

So for the daily drivers who run turbo/super=91 octane do you guys feel the power has been worth it?

I currently have no Wastegate...so no boost, but, I do have bumped up compression and it drives like a 4000lbs AWD Subaru...and since I have no boost...


I have been filling up on regular...and honestly, if you do the math...its only 4-5 dollars more per tank, yes it does add up over a few tanks...but I mean baby your car around and it shouldn't really be an issue...

You should pose same question to the guys with built N/A Mills who HAVE to run higher octane ratings...us turbo guys can just turn the wick down a lil...

I could not drive my turbo mr2 as a daily driver...lol I don't know how some of you afford the gas

I use 94 and get ass for mileage. Boost rules and it is just the cost of doing business....

:zzz: :bigpimp:

My engine's fairly high compression, NA, and I use 91 octane. If you watch calgarygasprices.com and you write off some of your gas, and you shift at low RPMs (I shift at about 2200), then it should be a little more affordable.

I've been considering running on regular for a while until gas gets back to normal, but I've also been trying to hit the track and the dyno so I haven't made the switch yet.

Its honestly not that much more for premium gas...
