[|)] My feelings even for the GT/High Output turbo. It was designed to run on premium gasoline and will try to protect itself from damage by cutting back on power when a lower grade of gasoline is used but I can certainly tell a difference between performance with premium vs mid grade and I personally would not use regular in my GT unless I had no alternative. Stage 1 makes the need for premium totally necessary. With the turbo lite (without Stage 1) there is not a problem with running lower grades of gasoline since it was tuned for the lower grades and in fact running premium in a standard turbo lite may be a waste of money.

As Mike-In-Orange described, the turbo lite with Stage 1 is the same as a GT/HO with Stage 1 so premium is required.
