No - that's incorrect info according to the '93 Owner's

manual. I'm looking at it now:
Page 69: "octane rating 87 or higher"
Page 104: "Unleaded 87-93 AON" for 900 Turbo
Inside rear cover: "Unleaded, minimum octane rating 87 or higher"
For my '90 SPG, the Owner's Manual states "For the Special Performance Group option, premium fuel, minimum octane rating 90.5 is required". Mine consistently operates on a reduced diet of mid-grade fuel, delivers 28.5 average mpg, doesn't knock, and performs very nicely. No erratic/unusual issues whatsoever.
87 octane should be fine for a standard turbo, even if it is turned "up" a bit.
