can i ask why you want to use it all the time,  optimax or tesco super is fine unless you are at the really top end of tuning, in which case i would be driving it on the road.  Octane booster wont really give you any more power.

my car is mapped for jap fuel at the moment and I use Millers oils octane plus at about £3 a bottle, you can get it cheaper if you buy in bulk. You will probably still lean out at the top end but it will add a extra bit of protection until you get your car mapped.

if you have put a PFC on your car you should have it mapped here in the uk, if it was on the car when it arrived you should still have it mapped,   you will be suprised how much better fuel economoy, smoother driver and more power you will get.

i bought it second hand a few weeks ago and fitted it myself, it was set back to a standard map at re worx before i bought it and i only have small mods (air intake, cat back exhaust, dump valve) so thought it would be ok, the knock sensor keeps going of, so i really need to just get it mapped and get it all sorted
