Default OB 'tangoed' tailpipe..?

Has anyone got an orange tailpipe (inside) from using OB. I know plugs/turbo and up/down pipes can show this , just wondered about tailpipe.

Maybe one for John Banks..?

You make it sound like I'm addicted to the stuff LOL, but yes the backbox did get a little tango coloured I tried the new Vitane stuff recently for drag racing and couldn't get any more timing or boost from it compared to the old Viscon stuff. There are claims it is the same, but I won't be using any more, seems like a waste of money.

Ahh..!

Sorry John, but I can't help it as the pics of your turbo always come to mind whenever the word 'tangoed' is mentioned..!

So what OB are you going to use now, as a matter of interest..?

Mine is lovely and black, and that includes using a bottle of OB per tankful

Yes, but I use a turbo that is big enough these days. Without octane booster it is probably enough for the clutch, engine, gearbox and more than enough for the chassis.
