Default difference of octane

Hello, Living in France, I am planning to turbocharge my Civic 97 D16Y8 with turbo kit Supertmotorsports and wants to use VAFC Hack with 440 cc

In France, we use unleaded fuel 95 or 98.

Do I have some problems of CEL or detonation etc... with the VAFC hack ???

Thank you for your opinions.

If I recall correctly, gas in Europe is not rated in MON + RON / 2 like it is in the states, but instead simply in RON. RON will generally be quite a bit higher than MON, so your 98 is more like our 93.
