It would boost and possibly blow your motor. You want higher octane...plain and simple. no way around it

if youre worried about cost, the turbo will give you better gas mileage

From my understanding: could go boom

Just to clarify, I think I remember reading on this forum where somebody's dad put in 87 octane and things went bad.

Low octane fuel and a supercharger creates a time bomb.

So then here's a question:

I've seen tons of 93+ tunes. Where do you get that type of gas for daily driving?
