My owner's manual says , I can run 87. I tried 87 once , there was no boost and a very noticeable loss of power.

No pun intended. If you haven't tried 89 in a non-chipped 1.8t, don't knock it.

The gas cap door has nothing to do with internals. It's like asking me if I have brake dust on my wheels. My owners manual says 87 can be used. I do not believe it contradicts the label on the inside of the door.

They just post "use 91 octane" to try to trick you.
