So my gf's mom has a turbo passat and I was talking to her about it and I was like, "Hey, what's your boost gauge look like?" And she's like, "What's boost? Whats a boost gauge?" And I'm like, "Uh, the thing that shows how much your turbo is spooling." And she was still clueless. So my gf is like, "Oh yeah, your car is turbo isn't it, so you have to use premium gas too." And her mom actually said, "Hell no! I just use regular."
In conclusion turbos are not for moms. That is all.

Some of the newer turbo cars can run regular. You just have to double check the owners manual.
I bought my Talon from my mother. She bought it brand new in 93. She still misses it. She loved the fact that she had absolutely no problem passing other cars on the road. Plus it's a 5-speed.
Members and the inability to use the Shift key. ;)

My a4 has no boost gauge also but hits full 7psi of boost at 2K. You only need 91 octane for it also.

You don't need premium gas in any factory ECU turbo car, you just get less timing and sometimes less boost. The factory probably got their advertised horsepower rating from using premium, but you don't need to for driving it around town. I drive Volvo Wagon Turbos all the time and never use anything but good old 87 octane and they usually haul ass with no problems.
If you hear an EFI'd car pinging, there's more wrong than the octane level of the gas.

i think it's like my work and like prisons - they harass the new guys.
at work they call new guys fresh fish. that's a prison term for new guys who are going to get a cock in their ass after lunch. it's super gay and completely retarded.
and the caps/shift key stuff doesn't really matter. after all, it's just the internet.

if you do not use premium gas in the new AMG S65, they'll void your warrenty.
