110 Octane Leaded? (No Cats)

I've heard that you can't do leaded in a motor intended to do unleaded. Period. I'm sure if you dumped money into the VQ you could make it run leaded... although I would push the car out of the garage and maybe another 100 feet away before starting.

Instead of doing leaded fuel, why not go with unleaded, oxygenated fuel.

Also, is that leaded fuel purple in color?

You can run leaded in just about any car. Plenty of guys run it in their GT-Rs, it does have the potential to mess up the 02 sensors. Just go with VP109 which is unleaded. The color depends on the manufacturer, VP C16 which is leaded is blue. Don't run octane booster it does absolutely nothing, there are plenty of test out there that prove that.

^^^ This

Toluene will definitely raise you about a full point or two, but I'm not sure how corrosive it is over time (a few guys on here really love the stuff, and I'm sure can chime in with more detailed info).
