ill turbo / intercooler

8 psi kinna if you got good gas... but youd proly lean out...just get a starion intercooler if you can afford the greddy or so on..

He wouldnt lean out just by having low octane fuel

But yes he would probably detonate

Ummm, I would still get one regardless. Lower intake temps = less detonation

And yes, even 4-6psi of boost gets HOT HOT!!

Not to mention you'll make more power with the cooler charge.
