What would happen? In my case I got a tune for 93 gas.
I ask this because a friend of mine got his STi tuned and his dad took his car out and put the wrong gas in it and he flipped his shit on his dad. But as of today he's still driving it, so I'm a little lost as to how much damage it would cause. I don't remember how much boost he was running at the time or how aggressive the tune was but I don't think I've seen my buddy that pissed off in a while.

I understand, out of the box, the tune intentionally seeks out a little knock and backs off from there. Is it possible to tweak the tune so it can't adapt to lower octane? Would a reputable tuner ever do that?
