1. I believe the formula for computing octane rating in your country is RON, which is not the same forumula as used in the US. The recommended RON-formula octane in the US manual is 96, but any unleaded gasoline with a RON rating of 91-95 can be used, although you may experience a slight reduction in performance. Your 95 octane should be just fine.
2. I assume installation instructions came with the unit? Follow those. Otherwise, someone else will have to help you.
3. The 2006 automatics are fitted with a more potent, 6-port engine, but for the earler model year automatics with the 4-port engine, there is very little you can do to increase horsepower and torque short of adding a turbocharger or supercharger.

Arrow Greddy....

I mounted my tank on the back of the air filter box.

Route the hose that comes off the top of the oil filler, by the cap, to the tank, then a new hose to the big intake rubber hose. Mine catches plenty of oil.

Not practical. The '04-'05 automatic engine, referred to as the standard engine, is very different system, and it would be a very big undertaking to replace all the components in order to convert the standard engine to the high-power engine that is found in the manual transmission cars. Better off to trade the AT car for an MT car.

You should do some searching and reading in the Tech Garage for the many opinions on turbo charging and engine management computers. If AFTER reading the many posts about those topics you still have unanswered questions, start a new thread with an appropriate subject title.
