Tales From the Dyno 3/14: Vu's EVO 9
#16
now according to my blitz boos gauge/timer my top boost is 1.72 bar, i live in california where i've heard our 93 isnt as great as it should be compared to other states, but is the 93 good enough for such high boost level? there is one gas station 10 miles from my house that has 100 octane, would that be necessary or no? and how much of whp difference would that 100 give me if any?

Whoohoo if it is, I can't wait to get mine done. I've got the Vishnu standard exhaust, with a test pipe.![Smilie](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Do you need a fuel pump with the IX?

I can hear that sh|t a mile away! My last car had a problem with it bad, it sounds like when your tires pick up a bunch of small stones at speed and through a shower of stones under your car. Just it's usually not as frequent a sound as that, and isn't as loud. If that makes sense.
