Which Octane do you use?
93 burns as clean as any other octane.
If you are getting more soot with 93 that just means the pcm is adding more fuel, which is making more power, which is kind of the whole point of the tc, no?
You may not be able to hear it but your motor will be knocking on 87. Sustained knock has all kinds of wonderful effects including holed pistons and shattered ring lands, bad **** if you ask me.
If you really want to run 87 get a 2.2, they love that stuff.

they come from US? BP = british petroleum. They get their crude oil from the middle east, then refine it in LA... Sunoco gets most of their oil from venezuela, none from the middle east.

i'd heard that it came from US oh well lol my bad lol but it looks like it's from mid east and i guess more what i meant is didn't come from middle east lol worded wrong however looks like i was wrong about that oo
my bad ... i thought they were beyond petroluem and they got their oil from the us
" British Petroleum, which traces its origin to 1901, was already known informally as BP when it made its most notable entry into the North American oil business as a pioneer explorer in Alaska during the late 1950s. "

no big deal, just correcting info. BP is a somewhat sketchy company. I've read a lot of strange things about stuff that has gone on within that business. I usually just get my gas from wherever is close. Everywhere around her has at least 93 and there is a, I think speedway, but i'm not sure on woodward that has 100 unleaded.
Clovis New Mexico huh...... I have a Clovis indian arrowhead from there. These are the worlds oldest artifacts traced back to the first people we know of. I got lucky and inheireted it from my Grandpa. I want to sell it cause I know a museum will pay me a fortune but I told Grandpa I wouldn't. Oh well I have the oldest thing you can find from the first humans in perfect condition. I feel blessed.

Cause there idiots dude and when it breaks and they take it to the mechanic and find out it was from using the wrong fuel they'll find out why you should not be a cheap ass when it comes to gas in your high performance vehicle.
