Shiv, what to do for octane boost?

I know there are countless threads on the forum about octane boosters, toluene/xylene, race gas concentrate, pure race gas.

I just want a reliable, everyday boost in octane from 93 to about 96-100. Everyone I ask has a different answer, and I dont want to waste my time with race fuel just to cook my $300 O2 sensors.

I would like to be able to run occasional 24psi+ on my stock turbo at the track.

Can you give me any info on this?

Yeah.. just use 100oct unleaded. It'll burn clean with no problem to you o2 sensor. It will also support as much power as the stock turbo is capable of supporting.
