Will this work OK in a MY98 UK Impreza Turbo?

What gains should be seen?

Is it worth it?

Can it cause any damage?

Do you have to perform an ECU reset??

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

I use it on my 96 UK. I reckon it gives maybe a little improvement in performance,
top end (couple of horses) but the engine runs much smoother.

MPG is also drastically up. I get about another 30 miles per tank now. Normally get 200 miles on 45 litres (ragging it) whereas now its about 230.(so it's about 15%)

I did do an ECU reset as the exhaust went as black as the ace of spades when I first put the stuff in.

I wouldn't be without it now

Rich

Ok then

You boys fill up with Millers.... I'll put some silkolene Pro Boost in and we'll settle it once and for all.

This stuff gave 6 bhp on the dyno on a UK car!!!!!!! and totally flattened out the torque curve. I would be delighted to fax anyone the graph. As mods go these are the cheapest horses this side of the dog meat factory.

Call me on 0115 9377200 and i'll send u all some

Cheers Paul TSL

I get mine from a local car parts dealer in Bradford, Costs me £30 all in for a box of ten, which may not be quite the cheapest, but I can get it whenever I want and not have to wait for the postie

Spooky Trouser

You were just (i.e. tuesday) sorting a turbo on a burgandy Saab 900!! You told the owner about this miracle stuff - and gave him a brochure for me. He told me about the silkolene!!!! And now you've just posted on the web. Its a small world! And im watching out for black cats and ladders on the street this week. Cant be too carefull.

So have you tested the millars as well?

Could the Silkolene have any bad long term effects to the engine?

Lads please.....

Yes pro boost is expensive.... so is a night out with Cindy Crawford. In both cases you get exactly what you pay for..

running any engine on what effectively is a better quality fuel should do it no harm whatsoever. The zorst will look a tad sooty and sweep for the first few days but feeeeeel the horses!

come and try ours if you wanna.

have a top weekend
