NF is the stuff to get mate. More expensive than most but it's the best. Roger Clark sell it at about £14 a bottle

Another vote for NF. Buy in bulk, say 10+ and get a discount too. Works out at about £6 extra per fill.

Mine made an extra +20bhp/+20lb when mapped.

Same question.
For example if you cannot get Shell Optimax, and need to upgrade ordinary unleaded.

Millers Octane Boost just over £4 a bottle, if you live in the West Midlands pick it up when you are passing.

If you live in another part of the Country by Post.


Forester Subaru - Subaru Parts, Subaru Spares, Subaru Breakers

Ask for Ivan or Sean top blokes.

Adding octane booster wont affect your lean/weak mixture problem..... thats another issue altogether......

If you are suffering detonation on the other hand,then yes add some booster.

I thought octane boosters were a bad idea? I seem to recall reading somewhere that they can cause damage... not a techie myself so only going on what I read of course.
