How can extra ron pop off the airfilter

If the cars standard you wont get much more grunt with the optimax, but if its say Superchipped by Powerstation you'll notice a large difference with the Boost..... I use Optimax in my 1.8T.....

Well obviously the extra ignite I would presume although I am no mechanic I was flat out in 3rd gear just after I filled the tank and bang it popped completely off. This fuel never gets put in cause everyone else is tight and I just want the top trump cards
So thats why I assumed it was the cause.
