Gasoline
Well I let my my brother drive my car one day, he filled up the tank with 87 octane, now there is an engine light, can gas really set off the engine light?
Heres my setup
M24 BB turbo
Custom piping
RSX-S injectors
Greddy Emanage
STOCK EXHAUST <-----changing soon
STOCK SPARKPLUGS <--changing soon
I'm running rich at the moment I'm also getting tuned this weekend.
My car revs to about 4000rpms and then it boggs so its in safe mode. But off the line I guess it switches to an open loop and allows me to push the car.

Rep Power: 280 Well, I wouldnt think that stock plugd be a huge problem. Unless they are at the end of their life, they should be ok.
My OEM spark plugs were Denso IK20, exactly whats needed for street boost (as the forum says). And I also had stock exhaust with turbo, before I installed my 2.25" OBX..
I'd rather look into upgrading fuel octane now, rather then plugs and muffler.
He has CEL with limp mode activated. This might be caused by MAP sensor and not necessary by plugs or bad fuel.
BigE19 what are you using to cover the boost, Missing link or emanage voltage clamp?
