nice job mnboxster. however, don't be discourage in using higher octane gasoline, steven choi. since boxster engines are high compression engines, they benefit from having higher octane gasoline. yes, it's true that higher octane gasoline doesn't directly "give" your car more horsepower, but it definitely indirectly effects how much horsepower your car is getting. in other words, with a higher octane gas, your chances of premature detonation decreases. therefore, with a performance enhancing chip, like the revo or giac, you can delay the timing beyond its normal parameters, thus, giving the engine more horsepower. again, please keep in mind that it only works if you have the chip and higher octane gas working in conjunction.
