Darren,

You'll still need to use an Octane Booster designed for cats because you've still got your Lambda sensor. So stay with the millers mate. Or you could try Broquets, do a search for everyones opinion on these.

dave not meaning to sound too dense but what has the lambda sensor got to do with using an octane booster for cats. i thought the sensor measured how much oxygen was in the exhaust gasses so i can't see any problem with using a non cat booster?

If memory serves me right! It's something to do with the non cat Oct B contaminating (sp) the sensor.

But heck, could be wrong, but that's what I remember.

Sith,

Your right mate. Its also why you can't use LRP in a decatted car, coz it will knacker up the sensor increasing fuel consumption (if thats possible in a scoob) and they cost about £100 to replace.

Don't know whether Nitrous Formula is available in the UK but it is proven to be by far the most potent Octane Booster on the market.

A magazine sold here in Australia called Fast 4s did a test amongst all the major players in the octane game and NF won hands down. It is also does not foul plugs like other options out there.

Running 99.8 Ron therefore allowing more boost!!!!!

Hmm looks like a good booster.
Is it available in the UK, if so where and how much?

If anyone needs the scanned tests from the magazine I mentioned. I would be more than happy to email them to those with interest.

It is not only the best octane booster but also the best value. The black bottle for example treats 6 tanks fulls!

Another point to note the world's fastest WRX over the 1/4 mile has a massive NF sticker on the side , if only that was the only ingredient needed to reel of 10 sec passes.
