[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 13745275, member: 155561"] I find that very hard to believe... the (gen1) Genesis turbo and GTI are both turbo tuned to about 210 hp or so from the factory and accept 87 octane. Both of these cars only run 10-12 psi however, where as your Subaru's and mazda's tuned to ~265 hp or so are making 13-15 psi and require 93. Now, different engines / turbos, the "boost" argument is obviously very subjective. My point however, is that for this thing to make 300+ horsepower on 87 octane is going to require one of two things: a VERY well breathing motor, or a relatively larger turbo than other offerings. The mitsubishi evo X makes 305 horsepower stock from a turbo that flows like 45 lbs/min from the factory, which is an incredible factory turbo. However, to compensate for the lag, the car has 4.55 gears stock... Ford is going to have a real hard time meeting power AND mileage expectations on 87, unless its running "87*" with a disclaimer that you'll be down on power running that octane. [/QUOTE]
