    Oh I saw that, I guess I was hoping to see if oyu had any more detail/reasoning etc. Like which piggyback and why? They actually confiscated it? No way thats solid!

    no my mates using it...got 6 months rego left.

    Reasoning? turbos love gas. higher octane...cheaper than running petrol and worrying about putting 98 in it all the time...its just going to go up in price. i get a $1750 govt rebate. what else can i say it just seems logical!

    I considered converting mine to gas when 98 nearly got to $2/L. Now that is semi-sane pricing again I cant be bothered but i still think about it every so often.

    Why do turbos love gas?

    And spend twice as much...ecu, loom, injectors and paying to get it mapped properly... Gas sorts it's self out but you can also tune it to what ever you like. I get a 1750 govt rebate and it will be cheaper to run... What more can you want?
