Default Is fuel causing probs???

My mate reckons his car is overboosting because of a low octane level in the petrol from a garage he has started using recently, I told him he was wrong and I may be wrong but could the octane level affect the way the engine boosts?

NO it can't as BOOST proportional to TURBINE/COMPRESSOR SPEED, it can cause less power though, which may seem like less boost.
