No, I was thinking of runnnig the 93 octane map in place of the 91 map I am running even though we only have 91 octane up here. I thought better of it, but my initial thinking was that the higher altitude more than compensated for the lack of octane.

What I don't know is if the ECU reads absolute or relative pressure. Heck, I'm not sure what my gauge does.

If I am boosting to 15-16 PSI absolute, then I definitely don't want the 93 map.

But if I am boosting to 15PSI relative, then the 93 map might be OK.
