as long as you keep it in good condition, there should be no problem.
little pricey with running premium fuel though.

Ditto.
Works for me.
Don't go cheap on gas. You'll pay with head gasket replacement.

Is the alky system nessesary for just every day use or is that more of a race thing?

Lightbulb Re: GN's and T-Types as daily drivers

If you are satisfied with stock boost levels, premium fuel is fine. (It is marked on the dash and in the owner's manual, BTW.)

If you just have to have "more"...what race fuel would allow you to generate with the boost turned up higher...but don't want to spend $10 a gallon for it or happen to be staying emissions legal and still have your catalytic converter attached, then alcohol injection will do the job.
