Hi bud, basically your in the same boat as myself.

I have also just had a full re-build, it's a JDM car and as such should be
run on Optimax or another SUL with booster, that said i do own a Wagon
and the map is not as agressive as the saloon so i can run it on just Optimax.

If your car is also JDM, sorry (Japanese Domestic Market) you should use the
best SUL plus a booster.

I'm getting it re-mapped for UK fuel to make the most of it and to build in
some safety margins, at £2500 for a re-build it will be money well spent.

Hope this help's

if its not mapped for a specific ron then the best advice is put in the best which is availabe to you which i believe is optimax, which is 98ron so you're laughing!

On a v5 i would get it remapped, running optimax and octane booster will help, you also need a knocklink to show you if your getting any other problems like det.
