after speaking to some of the major non IM service centers, I've decided SUL I not enough.
So this morning I used millers for the first time, after about 10 miles or so I noticed a big difference in pulling power in 3/4 gear, as I didn't know what to expect I've not pushed it hard at all.
but the check engine light has come on a few times as I've pulled up to a junction or come to a halt, and it wasn't hard breaking either.
is this a common thing when using millers or any other octane booster, should I be worried ???

I started using millers last week in my Sti but I didn't get any negative side effects. Vehicle was much smoother and more responsive especially at higher revs. Perhaps you may need to do an ECU reset dependant upon which model Scooby you have. I think pre 98's may need a reset but could well be wrong on that.

cheers Scott

ps I did the ECU reset with mine by disconnecting the battery for a couple of hours. (be aware of stereo codes if you follow the same method).
