you could speculate that the heat makes the car protect itself by running richer, thus needing more fuel, but i don't think that's the case because your lambda is consistent.
the high IAT might have stalled your timing advance, but i don't see how it could affect your hpfp. FYI early n55 ewg had a different pump for the year 2014, but i don't think they are any weaker. i just know they used a different plug. i 'upgraded' from this early one to a later hpfp with the different plug, but i did not notice a difference, so don't waste your time and money if you are in the same scenario.

Boostane turned my plugs orange but never caused any issues. I've ran about 12 cans of it over the last 2.5 years, I stopped last winter for a few months and ran the ACN91 tune and the orange was gone by spring. Only thing I would caution, my car is catless and I wouldn't run it often through an expensive high cell cat. I run a 1/3 can on BM3 93 OTS with Husky 94 and it has rock solid timing. I could probably get away with less but haven't experimented enough lately.

I'm not sure what you mean about the ugly and cluttered OBD2 cable, that's not for the zeitronix, it's for logging directly on CAN bus so we can do 50Hz+ with basic channels or 25hz+ with custom channels.

See, I was under the impression the zetroinx unit requires an obd2 connection as well which would make it messy and ugly in terms of wiring. If I was mistaken then it would be another nice option.

Lol no I didn't, only for the fuel filter I've been a bit busy these last few weeks.

With that said the only sources for good quality fuel is to do one of the few options: 1) Blend shell 91 with E85 at ~12% mix to get E10, aka 1.2 L of E85 (has to be 85% ethanol) per 8.8L of ethanol free 91. This is what I am going to have to do. 2) The least preferred method imo and this is octane booster, because of build up. 3) You could also mix other alcohols like toluene, or acetone, xylene etc. But I am not really familiar with this so do it at your own risk. Alternate options is water methanol injection.

In terms of Chevron I wanted their 94 to be good, but so far from what I keep hearing it is absolutely garbage.

Look up vancity audi on youtube and watch his tests on shell 91 vs chev 94 vs US 92 from washington and let us know what you think because at this point its hard to believe chevron is better than shell. Maybe its just a bmw vs audi thing where the ecus prefer different kinds of fuel depending on tuning strategies for each manufacturer

Although he did say that 94 chev mixed with ethanol was the best results. Kinda sucks coz he didnt test shell 91 with ethanol as well

Haha I actually love it here in Canada so no plans to move.
The good news is that we have e85 at the pump where I am, so I'll be mixing with 91 pump gas to make e10 which should be around 93 octane.
