Higher octane gas will not "let your car boost higher" unless you've reprogrammed the ECU to allow higher boost. Using an octane booster will do *nothing* for the car unless it was already pulling timing due to poor gas. And at our altitude, you can nearly run a stock STi on 89, meaning 91 is already *plenty* high.
