Default oops! regular gas

Wasn't paying attention and put in a full tank of regular octane gas in the Teg yesterday. Will it hold up or do I need to get it out of there? I'm thinking just grandma drive the whole tank. Suck!

Well unless your compression is much over stock you don't need that high octane unless you're boosting. Even at that...

I'd say don't worry about it.

edit: Take the spring out / disconnect the actuator on your wastegate

you can always just get a can of octane booster and put it in. Then just try to stay out of any high boost if any boost until the tank is refilled.

Dude don't listen to these people, just take it easy til the tank is almost empty it sucks but its not going to kill you. then fill back up with 93oct.
