Alright lads,
I've got a standard 1991 GSi (I've got a K+N and a straight pipe), can I use unleaded juice or do I need to use a lead additive?

Second question, there was an old post about changing the injectors on a GSi engine, someone said that GM used the injectors from the Cav GSi 2000, is it a straight swop, take the standard injectors out and fit the Cav ones??
Is there much of a performance gain?

Cheers,
Micko

u should be using RON95 unleaded. dont put any lead in there!

Larger injectors can be added, but unless ur runing over 125bhp already there isnt much point. Also it wont make any difference at all unless ur engine is chiped and has alarger throttle body!

If you`re going to use octane booster, just fill up with Shell Optimax, 99ron! See if you get anymore go out of it. I did but thats in a Mk2 Golf Valver.
