Simple question really.

Where, and how much should i be looking to pay?

Have heard alittle about this make of fuel additive. Seems to come recomended. But does it really make a noticable difference?

 

[GaryM]

Yes, I notice a difference as it allows me to run Timing 7 with my SPS3 with very minimal timing pull. Timing 6 gives 0 across all four cylinders.

It retails at ?4.99 a bottle but shop around, I got 20 bottles for ?55 (?2.75 ea).

 

[Badger5]

which type.. there are a few

 

[GaryM]

I assumed Millers Octane+

 

[zekegti]

Didn't realise there were lots of different ones.

The only engine mods so far is the revo 4bar. I am attending the RR session in April so thought i might give this stuff a look. Help improve my performance.

Is it available in most motor shops or is it a specialist item?

 

[GaryM]

Most motor shops.

 

[zekegti]

What about JBS? Could pick some up while i'm there

 

[GaryM]

Im not sure if JBS will sell it, maybe better to try Halfords or similar.

There is also CVL

 

[GaryM]

And CVL Turbo which is THE DADDY!!

Timing 9 with SPS3 - yes please []

The only problem is that it won't do your catalytic converter any good in the long term, also your wallet would be taking a big hit at ?7.99 a bottle!!

 

[zekegti]

Well no luck down Halfrauds. So its gonna have to be an internet shop me thinks

 

[Geeba]

4.99 a bottle? cant see it s gonna be alot of cop for that? the only octain booster I've really used and it really worked was Pro-Blend but that starts at 18 quid a bottle and the higher spec one is 30 quid...

 

[klauster]

what does this stuff actually do?

I could'nt possibly comment.

CVL Turbo indeed.

Cheaper by the case tho.. [8D]

what are your thoughts?

 

[1.8T Chap]

Might be a daft question to some people but my car has been chipped and will now only run at its best with 98ron, if i use an octane booster will this affect the map? what sort of gains can i expect? what do people reccomend and how much/where from? Thanks.
