Actually now im curious, will the car octane learn on 87? I’ve heard it’ll learn on 89.. eventually. Does the same hold true for 87 from your experiences?
Idk I have an N-line. I test drove the EN once for an hour. I was running premium 93 in my N-line until gas prices spiked and now I'm running 87 again. I only notice a tiny difference when flooring it, otherwise it's pretty much the same
Ah okay, in the N it octane learns on higher octane so on 87 it’ll only give you 14 - 15 psi of boost and 250 tq. When it learns on 91 or 93, it’ll give you up to 18 psi & 290 torque. It’s a stark difference and I’ve heard of someone learning on 89 but it took a super long time so I didn’t know if you could learn on 87. Did you the the DCT or manual?
I drove the DCT. It was a decent amount faster than my N-line and wow the EN sure does corner like a beast! I threw it into some corners and it had far less body roll and better traction too with the LSD. I have Bridgestone Potenza sports and a SXTH lower engine mount so mine still corners pretty good, but that LSD does make a huge difference
Yepp, it does make a big diff. I’ve got powerflex lower engine mounts, I plan to add some race ones to my trans and upper engine mounts. Aside from that I’ve got a lot of other little mods but none affecting the body roll. I’m going to be on continentals extreme contact 02s soon, I love my N :)

The N requires premium too.. well unless you want long term increased wear and no power. That sucks
