every once and a while i will get a check engine light for "system too rich", but after exactly 50 miles, it goes away. I have had the kit on for over 5000 miles now, and i have had the light about 3 times.

yo catalyst .. lemmie ask u .. my car has been sitting in the garage sine aug 1st. and theres like 87 oct fuel in there like HALF A TANK.. will this affect the turbo? i know im supposed to run like 93 but will it damage it ? our should i just take it easy and drive slow to the gas station and top the tank off with some 94?
do not make ANY boost with only 87 octane gas. It will not damage your turbo, but it will destroy your ring lands and crown of the pistons, along with your head gasket.

shit what should i do???? suck the gas out the tank and go fill up a can with 93 and replace it? or should get a tank and mix the 93 with the half tank of 87 thats in there?

Ummm YEAH!?!?!? I already have an O2 simulator because of the Hp racing header...I don't think that would resolve the check engine light because the car is running too rich...Try again
Catalyst, would having a tuned Apexi VAFC resolve the "running too rich" problem???
