What implications are there in putting Octane Booster with the gasoline in a car ?
From what I know, Jap import WRXs are set up to use 99RON fuel, but what is different in the setup of a Jap import to a UK car ?
Is it safe to use SUL and octane booster in a UK-spec car set up for SUL (not just a Scooby) ?

Hello mate...
Octane booster will make a slight difference but you won't really notice it unless your doing timed event's.
Not really worth putting it in a UK Scoob as they are mapped for a lesser octane rated fuel.
Tell Scott it ain't gonna help him!
When you getting the Civic Type R??

Ive been using Octane booster with SUL for a while.
The engine idles better, picks up better, is smoother, quieter (less thrashy), faster, more torque...
Ive a UK Turbo PPP.
Ive been using the NF stuff from newagemotorsport.
no connection blah blah.
Ive bought 10 bottles to keep me going for quite a while (each bottle lasts about 5 tanks).
Im happy.

So if i put some in my Clio 172, together with the Ramair Suparam induction kit, i should hopefully get in the high 170s at the RR session ?
Scott - i know what you have planned, that why you bought a wagon so you could fit a Rolls Royce Merlin in the back - hehehe.
