Octane Boosters - Good or Bad

[gsb876]

I\'d say if the car has been remapped to compensate for 98ron then the car should be fine.

Mine i have had remapped recently and runs fine on optimax, like i said earlier tried some octane boosters and found no difference:(

IMO it would be fine on a std RX, I am sure lots of people run std ECU\'s on optimax, if I was to mod the car, then that would be another story

I\'d have thought so to. Surely there must be some variation in the programmed parameters in the ECU that would compensate for a variation in the quality of the fuel used?

I can understand moving outside those programme limits if you mod the car - the original programme is simply not designed for modifications.

Indeed

Personally I would get the programmable ECU, its a fragile car so I\'d like that extra piece of mind
