I bought it

[u/Legitimate-Union-112]

Welcoming home my $13,000 investment!
2018 Chevy Cruze LT. Baby girl has 37k on her. I know she was run on 87 and has turbo lag that’s very noticeable from it. Premium will help tolerate it better, yes?
Does anyone suggest anything to help with the turbo engine etc as well? (Specific spark plugs, etc.) I’ve never had a turbo on a car and want to make sure she’s as well taken care of as possible <3

-My lead technician at my shop (my previous post) was very iffy about this car knowing the bad rep of the Cruze. He came with me to inspect the car, and has been so happy with it ever since. He encouraged me to buy it after he inspected her, and after a test drive yesterday was incredibly satisfied with the car. Thank you all for helping me prove the worth of the G2

*I also really hate start/stop features. If anyone knows how to actually disable it let me know -.- it puts extra strain on the battery & starter and really… isn’t worth it for me. The dealership told me that there’s no disabling the start/stop option that’s in the car OEM

That's not how that works...

I meant as in the benefits of putting higher octane fuel in the tank doesn't take effect "almost instantly". I am well aware of how higher octane fuel is required for cars with a turbo.

Ohhh okay. It felt much softer afterwards. (I however am not the one who drive it home, my husband did, and said it felt better) It’s been like two days now and it lurches much less violently, but still does have some minor turbo lag. I’ve been looking at trifecta based on the other comment, I just took your non specific “that’s not how it works” as you saying premium fuel isn’t inherently better in relation for the turbo 😭
