True or False?
With a JDM engine you always need to add octane booster because they run higher octane over there?

True and False. All depends on the octane rating you use. Just remember that not all premiums are the same. I'd say a stock turbo JDM engine should be safe with 93 octane or higher.

Be careful of those piss-crap 91 octane's I've seen. Also, not sure if you guys have it where you are, but Ethanol has it's ups and downs too.
