Default Hello from Los Angeles

Hi everyone. I have a 1995 Impreza L sedan with a JDM EJ20G full driveline swap. I even did a right hand drive conversion. I'm in the process of adding an alcohol/water injection system to overcome the poor quality gas here in California, then I'm going to get the car tuned with my Power FC. The quality of information on the American forums about early Subaru motors is inconsistent and often contradictory, so I hope this forum will be a little better since you have more experience with EJ20Gs in the UK. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.

There's Torco Octane Booster but it supposedly causes the engine the emit an orange smoke. All of that stuff is pretty sketchy, I think. There's 100 octane available at some gas stations but it costs $8.60 (!) per gallon. Better to get methanol injection and a tune in the long run.
