Not knowing which fuel it has been mapped for, assuming it has been remapped, i wouldn't put anything less in than Shell Nitro+.

95 Ron














Best to put shell Nitro as you don't know if it's been mapped.

As said above Shell V Power or Tesco Momentum 99. I have read threads on here to steer clear of BP Ultimate too so I don't use it.
I used to run a Celica GT4 on normal unleaded around 10 years ago when I was far less educated about the importance about this sort of thing.
Since owning my first RA 8 years ago I never run any performance car on anything other than what I've stated above.

Was it mapped for the ecutek? (The ecutek designer is, right now, frothing at his system being referred to as "a chip")

It PROBABLY needs 99 or at least 98 octane fuel, so Shell V-Power, or Tesco Momentum.

But best to find out who mapped it and what it was mapped for.

What's wrong with BP Ultimate?

Ask Bob Rawle. Mappers see things we don't.
