what does that translate to in U.S. ratings. You can't just quote the octane number. For the U.S. generally speaking 21 psi is good enough for most. Then you still have to factor in humidity,temps,etc.

Since you are from Lebanon, after installation ... Message Mellon
he'll do an E-mail flash .. it is cheap, and so you wont be sending out your Ecu to another country for a reflash ... or if you have a Tuner around to do it for you .

He is a Very good tuner and well known in Evom and he is a Very Reccomended tuner, you should have heard about him, cuz he got an Excellent Reputation and quick responce to Customers ..
i did not use any of his tune, but i am gonna do that in the future and maybe tweak my current Base flash .

all you're gonna need is a labtop , a tactrix cable , and download ecuflash and Evoscan ..

Ecuflash is for Free , and Evoscan is like $25 or Mitsulogger a Free Alternative ..
as you can see it on his web page

wish we had that kind of gas all over here. From traveling I seem to notice higher octane gas in most places then here in the usa.

It's mostly likely rated the same as in europe where they use the RON scale. In the US, we use (RON+MON)/2. 98 octane in europe is equal to like 93.1 octane in the US.
