Having read a few of the threads on this board regarding octane boosters I thought I would give it a go, since I am always a little concerned about running my STi IV on 97 octane SUL. I therefore bought a bottle of Millers SVP plus. The label does not mention anything to do with catalytic converters, and as far as I know the car has its original exhaust system. Having used this product, should I now be worried about potential damage?

You need Millers Octane Plus mate. See Mike T at Scoobymania - approx. £30 per case of 10 plus P&P.

Run a search on octane booster under drivetrain as it was discussed at length a month or so ago.

Plus is for CAT/non CAT cars.
If you run no cats then you can put 2 bottles in per 50litres SUL fuel.

Anyone know what happens to the cat if you
put the wrong stuff in?

So it looks like I've done some damage already.
Does anyone know what I should do to get out of this?

Any advice gratefully received.



Running quite nicely at the moment (but I'm driving very slowly).

Call Millers direct on 01484 713201 & speak to their tech people (very helpful)
As I understand it SVP is for competition use & is MUCH stronger than Plus. I would also guess that "flushing" it out with a full tank of fuel would also be on the cards (though finding any petrol at present will be a task in itself !!)

Good Luck.

Brew,
Thanks for the tip. I have spoken to Millers (very helpful as you said) and it seems that if I take it easy it is unlikely that I will do any harm with only one tankful.
I have now resolved to get the proper stuff(Octane Plus).

Try contacting Auto-Tecnica (01924 494 884) Apparantly they can sell you a box of 10 bottles of Plus for £25 (not sure if thats inc P&P)
Havn't actually called them myself yet (as I have 8 bottles left) so if they can do this price let us know as its the cheapest I have seen !
