if i remember correctly you have a uk blobeye sti? Unless you plan on doing a track day or use crappy 95-97 ron fuel then there is no need to use octane booster!

your's will be fine on normal tesco 99/shell v power.

if you wanted to use octane booster.. go for , nf race formula.. thats if you got a classic which is mapped for higher octane than uk fuel can provide.

NF is the best. Get mine from Roger Clark MS.

Add 3ml p/l plus V-Power. Mapped in for such.

Increasing the octane rating will allow the ecu to add more ignition timing, so it may/will feel quicker, mine loves the stuff...
