Overboost a pain!!!!
Hi Guys we all know that optimax has stopped. Well my 94 STI has been running sweet with optimax and octane booster but since hemel hampsted went up ive had to switch to tesco 99
My question is that tonight the car has started to boost to 1.5bar (on optimax it ran between 1 to 1.2bar with no probs!) and during hard accelaration through the gears the boost is all over the place ie. 1 to 1.5bar and i hit fuel cut
any ideas!

It can, better fuel more exhaust gas velocity from more effective combustion (different burn) and hence the over boost. Turbo is more lively from it and boost dynamics struggling to control.

Also how do you control the boost dynamics if it continues to overboost - would an ecu reset help because of the change of petrol?
Sooo many questions and its not 2006 yet!!!
