Not unless its mapped for it Alan.

You may find benefit from OB+remap, but then you would need to run the OB all the time.

It raises the octane rating level slightly which is always a good thing, but I would of thought it would be better to have the car mapped on v power only and if you have a bad tank of fuel, or really hot weather or both, the OB then can help protect the car, giving a safety margin, imho.
