Fuel Additives
Discussion
After having brief discussions on previous threads , I'm trying to get more info on the above.
The situation in Ireland is that anything above 95 octane isn't available , actually it's been outlawed I've been told.
I'm a little worried about long term damage to the engine, even though I know there are protections there for 95 users.... I'm not sure if Porsche intended 95 to be consistently used.
SO.........
Anyone using an octane booster? .. Any recommendations?
the use of the three letter abbreviation will not be tolerated in this thread .. Penalties will run at double Torches present (proposed) rate

I am pretty certain that constant use of 95 will do your engine no harm, porches are designed to be used just about everywhere on the planet, and as with where you are in Ireland the higher octane fuels are not always available.
There was a recent quote posted on here from a Porsche man to this effect stating that the use of higher octane fuels made naff all difference as the engine management adjusted everything to remain the same regardless of what you put in the tank.
Surely addatives were required it would say so in your handbook or your OPC would tell you?

Still an all , I wouldn't mind trying a booster , I've never had the pleasure of 97-98.
I would also love to think I'd get my hands on a tt at some stage , and I really would be worried bout the impact of the higher exhaust temps (of the lower rons) on the turbos...
How about we all club together on the mainland and ship you over a few litres of the Super Super Plus 102 stuff. That will put hairs on your chest (and empty our wallets!)I would also love to think I'd get my hands on a tt at some stage , and I really would be worried bout the impact of the higher exhaust temps (of the lower rons) on the turbos...
octane being no more than a knock suppresant and is commonly (wrongly) associated with power.
I as an engine builder and the company i work for find the only addative for stopping detonation which occours with poor qualaty fuel and too much ignition is Millers CVL (competition valve lubricant).
conclusive dyno testing has proved this with out a shadow of a doubt.

Any idea where this was? So I don't need to put super in?
