A Turbo 2000 will be OK on normal unleaded. Supposedly it'll "run better" with Super. If you want to use Super, then V-Power or Tesco 99RON Super both get a good press (but BP super does not).

Just do a little test mate...If it's been run on V power for so long use what's left in the tank and get a good feel for how it runs and delivers it's power...
THEN
Run it on Normal and see if it makes a difference Easy.IMO i wouldn't run any performance car on anything less than the best.

Read what it says on the inside of the petrol flap.
Has anyone seen how much difference there is between a full tank of unleaded and a full tank of super?
I use a tank a week, multiply that by 52 and I'm no where near a rebuild cost.
I had the same "it wont happen to me" attitude when I bought my Legacy RS.
Bought it in Wigan, filled it with some sort of unleaded petrol(never heard of it before) and the big ends were gone by the time I arrived home in Scotland.
250 miles at 80mph=3000 rebuild.
Luckily someone pulled out in front of me at a set of lights after 2 weeks of ownership and wrote it off for me
and I bought a UK Impreza and use NOTHING other than Tesco99.
Thats just my experience and opinion though.
