TURBOCHARGER TIPS
After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, idle engine at least 30 seconds in order to cool turbocharger. Avoid shutting the engine off abruptly after a hard or long drive as turbocharger damage may result. Do NOT race or over-rev ANY engine when starting, particularly a turbocharged engine. Do NOT add aftermarket devices to alter the engine's ignition, fuel delivery, or turbo boost pressure, as this may lead to serious engine damage and void your warranty.
Fuel: Premium Fuel Recommended – 91-93 Octane.

Lower Octane Fuel Usage
If 91 octane fuel is not available, fuel as low as 87 octane can be used. Use of lower octane fuel can decrease performance; refueling the vehicle with the correct octane fuel a couple of times will restore vehicle performance and shift quality.
