I run my car all the time on BP Ultimate as there isnt a shell garage near me and ive heard some people prefer Ultimate to Optimax anyway.

I recently brought 10 bottles of Millers Octane Booster (2 ron)

I did some logs before and after adding the octane booster to a full tank of BP Ultimate.

Both sets of logs were done at a similar time of the evening along the same stretch of road and with similar ambient temps on both days (14 - 15 degrees)

Heres the logs, what are peoples thoughts?

Before octane booster

I'd turn your timing up a notch with of without the millers.

Absolutely no timing pull with the millers.

When my maf died a few weeks ago i borrowed someones sps3 to turn timing down to 4.

Currently its timing 4 boost 7

Should i put it up to timing 5 or go for timing 6 and see what logs say?

cheers btw

Version 2 sps3 ?

I don't know about Ibizas, but I usually run b9t4 on 95 and b8t6 on full fat petrol.

I would put the boost up to 9, then log timing. I understand timing gets advanced when you up the boost, so you'll be okay.

Have a look at the sps3 user guide....

was about to say the same thing phil. the one, your timing is set quite low, mine is stage 2 but am getting timing pull figures up to 8, ive a problem with a lambda sensor that is constantly flagging an open circuit error, im not sure if y timing is too advanced or the lambda is fooking the system, i need to get hold of an sps3 for a day to find out.
