    Out of desperation I had to put regular gas in my car (not really a top swap but SSM90 kit - same compression). I assume if I drive like an old lady and accelerate very slowly I should be OK? My thinking is the boost bypass should be bypassing as long as I don't get on the gas pedal too hard.

    Should probably be ok. How much did you put in?

    Thanks for the replies. I put about 3/4 of a tank in. After Sandy it's hard to get any gas. I figure I'll just accelerate super slow until I can get premium again and purge all the regular out.

    Just run it down and fill with premuim and it'll mix in and maybe be 1 point lower on the octane scale, I wouldnt worry.
