I just did a search on it and read on a BMW forum that it will work, but finding 100% pure toulene is not easy. The poster said that toulene from Home Depot had other additives in it. He also said he did some chip tuning to keep his ECU from changing things around in response to higher octane fuel.

I tell you this though... if you want more power out of your boxster, save up for a set of aftermarket headers. You'll gain 15-18 hp and a bump in torque the butt dyno will pick up right away, and eventually, it will pay for itself vs. burning higher octane fuel.

Just a thought for you (since no one has chimed in on your request).
