I realize it may be a dumb question, but someone had to ask it sooner or later
That system was a joint development between TRD and Vortech, but the compressor was a Vortech unit, yes.

All of our tuning with our complete systems is for 91 octane, and this is for many reasons. the main concern is safety, and seeing as how 91 octane is the lowest premium octane of fuel that is readily available everywhere, our tuning has to be safe for use with it. Also, that is the best we have at the pump here in California, apart from a few spots that pump E85 or 108...

The systems will certainly run on 93, but a custom tune made specifically for 93 octane will (of course) allow for more power.
