abbs it deffo aint fuel mate, theres no chance it will do that, i had a similer thing before, my ignition lead 2 broke down and i changed em for beru leads, that night my car was flying like fooooook , i was claiming there the best thing in the world made my car feel faster ect with no other mods

looked at my peak boost recall as stu said i was talking shit, turns out the penny was stuck shut on the turbo and i was running unlimited boost

so yours might be the same type of thing

abbs, theres deffo another reason for it, could be crap optimax,,,,,, doubtfull as ya would be running less boost

theres another reason why and it MAY have a slight bit to do with the fuel but that aint the sole reason

im would phone harvey but hes busy on another call

optimax is 95 plus additives - additives go off over time and therefore the max is 98, min is 97

SUL is 97 RON Fuel.

I'm 100% sure its coincidence.

If not the fuel is cleverer than it looks!

the car should have a safe drt map anyway tbh, if done proper the car will only det of theres a issue else where, that wont allow the fuel to solve it either

besides cars can det for a short period before it finally melts, not as easy as people think unless theres a bad det issue or ya on and off the pedel
