everyone seems so excited about 100+ octane gas...sure its a better, cleaner burning fuel, but is it going to offer that much of a performance boost? And lets say we are going to see an improvement in performance, does this apply more to the modded cars or will this help stock or nearly stock cars?

and what would running a considerably higher octane rating with a particular chip (like an APR 93 program) do? hurt performance?

In a turbocharged car, especially one with some programming, I think it would make a substantial difference. However, that increase in performance is going to come at a high cost.

For normally aspirated cars, such as my 3.2, probably not so much difference, though a high-compression engine will benefit somewhat from higher octane.

Default if you run 100 oct with 100 oct programming from APR it is a very noticable jump

If you use 100 with 93 oct program it won't do much. I think the power increase for the STG 3 APR kit from 93 to 100 is like 30 hp or so.

---Before I write anymore, how do I enter a response without it tabing to the right underneath each other response? Sorry, I'm not used to this type of board.

Also, I'm new to this type of European car, as I've Modded a BMW and an Acura previously.

I'm now realizing the benefits of chipping a turbo car but adding high performance gas? Even in a bone stock TT? I'm planning on chipping, but what kinda improvement would be realized on a stock 180Q? And would one be able to obtain this gas from an Airport? I know there is nowhere around Asheville that would sell this gas.
