Hi There, I own a 2001 Jetta 1.8T. The minimum octain rating information is located on the inside of the gas cap door, and I believe that minimum is 91octain. This isn't to say that you can't use 87 octain, or regular fule. Doing so however you'll notice a loss in power, and a possible engine nock. The engine nock results from when the detonation inside the cylinder is not as powerful, causing the valves to sound louder. hope this helps.

91 Octane rating always with the turbo. The price difference is nominal compared to performance. The higher octane also ignites at a lower temperature, ensuring better ignition and better performance. Love that turbo - mine is a MKIV.
