Good idea ! I ran 110 mix w/93 this past summer at roughly 12-14 psi , I bought an alky control kit , because I was scared of bieng on the edge

.

Damn I wish I had 20psi of boost ! Having rode behind 20-21 psi I will tell you it's insane !!!!

Man you got me wanting to turn up my new turbo bad!! I don't have meth, just pump 93. 12 psi with 16* for me right now with no knock, so I may pull a degree and bump it up to 14-15 psi

12 psi on a bigger turbo like that isn't even makin work hard yet. When I went from 10-12 to 16psi holy shat what a difference. This is with a 76-87 1.25 Borg

He isn't demanding enough fuel yet. But he's derping with the pressure because its only a 2 bar OS and beyond 15-16psi here, theres no added fuel. He has to do it via the FPR. Maybe I'll get him up to speed on a 3 bar OS, so he doesn't have to. lol
