I have always been a fan of Redex, but found another product called 10k Power Boost. This gets sprayed directly into the air intake at the throttle bodies as apposed to mixing in the tank like Redex. What a differance. The car felt much smoother and more responsive. Cant say "quicker" cos its not magic spray but an improvement. Would recomend it to anyone, £20 a can but well worth it. Surprise surprise, it came from Halfrauds
Caused a fog behind blocking out the whole street so dont use it inside the garage

I'm not sure how that can work as the air has a different route into the engine than the fuel and the air doesn't go through the injector

Could be that it has done a good job of cleaning the air flow meters which do get dirty inside.

Give Nitrox octane boost /injector cleaner a go, empty the bottle into that tank and it really does the job!

Available at Halfrauds for less than a tenner.

Given that it doesn't actually pass through the injectors, how does it clean them?

I disconected air intake pipes at the throttle butterflies, so it never went through air flow meters. Probably more of a case of cleaning the valves and and bang bang chambers. (nice description)Certainly felt better whatever it done.

Kentish! did you find info on wheel orders or not managed to yet.

I was wondering that too. I suppose if the injectors were in the direct line of fire it would clean some of the jam off the outside. This may give a better spray pattern.
