A change in "gas flow" wouldn't be sufficient protection against high boost and low octane.

Oh, and fwiw I wouldn't exactly call a destroyed piston "no problems". Problems like that don't typically happen all at once either...every time that car has been run with too much boost on too little octane, the damage gets worse and worse...until a piston fails.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
