raywong - I indeed would be concerned with detonation if I were you. Not trying to scare you, but I have had issues with detonation myself with inferior fuel.

Tomei JDM ECU (tuned for 100RON, safe to assume aggresive tune) with 98RON gas sounds like trouble to me.

JDM Evo does det less than JDM STi from my experience, but check it nonetheless.

I permanently mount the KnockLink to monitor knock at all times.
