Cold night + race gas = 19-20psi boost spike on stock turbo
I just dumped in 5 gallons of sunoco 100 and topped it off with pump 91. I was punching it around and boost was spiking up to 20psi. Car felt real strong, I wish I had a custom 100 map, that would rock! I tried to take pics, but my cameras slow.

as a side note, that's not rage gas. Race gas usually refers to C16 or higher, which is leaded 116+ octane. The highest unleaded I've seen was 108ish. The lead in C16 adds another layer of protection to your fuel, but will eat O2 sensors and cats alive.

To be more clear it was 100 Sunoco unleaded octane gasoline, not rage gas.
