Default Safe to run 1.0 bar boost spring?

As some of you might know California has some crappy gas. 91 octane is the highest at the pump unless you hit the 76 station that carries 100 octane. I have been advised to run a .8 bar spring instead of the 1.0 bar. (which I think is a waste of time and money)

So, my question is can I run this higher boost (1.0 bar) on 91 octane without damaging the engine?

I would think 91 is too low to run 1 bar. You would need to run 93 at least.

Unless you can monitor what your engine is doing I agree, but in the winter you should be good.
