Millers CVL Octane booster is about the best out there - http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=5894?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping Does work - Hurdy's probably the person to interject here as I know he's run a few bottles of it through his tank in the past.

Dom, as Dom has pointed out, the Millers stuff is the one of the best out there..

I've used it loads of times on my old mk4 Ibiza Cupra (also used it in the Eddy when we were at Motoscope) with amazing results.

Reduces CF's and allowes you to add more timing  :happy2:

Yes, the Miller's CVL Turbo Octane booster is the stuff you want. I did comparative Dyno's using this stuff and it gave me another 12.5bhp, so it definitely works.

You need to add two 500ml bottles per full tank.  Make sure you fill the tank to half , then add the bottles and then carry on filling the tank. :happy2:

That sounds good :happy2: going to have to give this stuff a try. Haven't got high hopes for the power off this new map so millers might help to give it a gentle push :laugh: the map hasn't been on a car that's been dyno'd so will be interesting to see what it makes in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the info folks :wink:

The best octane booster without doubt is NF Octane Booster. The Millers one is not very good.
