not sure about the island but in the lowermainland every chevron has 94. how much boost are you trying to run. the higher octane will help keep your system cooler and will help no matter what but is not necessary unless your running lots of boost.

i intend to run like 14-16 psi

i wouldnt say you need it but it will definitely keep things cooler. Just keep in mind if your getting your tune for 94 your going to have to run 94 consistently.

Get a moderately aggressive 91 octane tune, but run on 94 all the time... That way you can still run 91 if you find yourself empty with no 94 in sight.

He seems to have a problem finding a dictionary so I'd say he could have trouble finding 94. I've seen 8 year olds write a more coherent sentence.

But on a lesser note, take DreadedFists advice. On a supplemnetary note from myself, not knowing what you've done to your car lately (assuming very little if you're only tuning for "more boost") I suggest you wait until you've completed some additional modifications to your car before getting it tuned "again." Tuning is expensive and you might as well get the most out of your money and future mods (unlike your schooling) by tuning after anything else you are planning on doing in the next couple months, whether it's as simple as breather mods or as complex as fuel systems and turbo upgrades.

every chevron in town has it nick, my car was tuned @ 19 psi on 94 from chevron and thats all I run. What turbo do you have in your car?? 14-16 psi I hope its not the stock rb20 turbo.

The stock turbo will handle that much, just not for prolonged pulls. It's the EGT's that kill the stock turbo's, so tune it rich to keep it cooler and don't stay in it for 20 minutes.

How's the education system on the Island?
