Default service and tune

Hi guys sorry for the novice question
so i have a version 6 sti with a new vf34 turbo has been safe tuned to just 17 psi with an autoronic ecu. I brought this car just over a year now the previous owner got it tuned to 95 octane due to being in port headland they lack 98 octane. I was wondering is it worth tuning it to 98 ? i regularly put 98 in it as well.

I was also wondering where would the best place to get a tune? i usually go to allstar garage for a tune and racetorque for my servicing thanks.

get it serviced with Jim at Blue Star and Racetorque can tune it if you are in the northern suburbs. All Star is in Malaga and can tune it aswell...

+1 for STechnic servicing, but I change the oil myself. I asked them what oil they used and the answer was fully synthetic Tidal or Tide brand. Has anyone heard of this brand, I haven't.

Thanks

Wouldnt it be easier to just sent it to one workshop and let them do the lot?

surely the price difference is pretty minor you might use that price difference burning the fuel to get to one workshop to the other
