Every major auto manufacturer lowers the compression on the boosted engines compared to the na counterparts, so they don't run into any warranty issues.

100 octane is 5.49 compare to 92 @ 4.49 . A dollar difference is worth it. Is it built
to last 100,000 miles no but it works.

It boggles my kind of how much KNOWLEDGE people have that never done **** and tried something new instead of reading books and message boards. One of the biggest reasons I don't post much on here anymore. All respect to MF board crew!

Anyway I wana thank everyone for their responses. Time for another race season and time to collect few more trophies.
