Default Octane boosters and 'flashing'....

I was reading the article in Euro Tuner on Octane boosters.

They did a lab/scientific experiment.
One of the most accurate/reliable one was Outlaw OB.
It got 91 octane up to 94.7 octane consitently.

Anyone run any kind of Octane booster ?
Used in conjunction with Revo or GIAC, could help the software a bit to produce more hp/tq.

Any thoughts ?

I won't bother trying it until I have my MAF sensor replaced, as my car is slooow as hell right now.
6.7 to 60....
Damn, it's running rich and the timing is retarded......

OT: did the sensor go because of the hyperflow?

Default You could just mix in a gallon or two Toluene of w/ a tank of 91

You can buy it in 10 gallon drums at most professional paint supply stores. I've used it in the past with great results in my TT and A4. HAven't tried it in the S4 yet.<ul><li><a href="http://www.elektro.com/~audi/audi/toluene.html">http://www.elektro.com/~audi/audi/toluene.html</a></li></ul>

Default Not sure if AoA will try to say that's the cause.

Can't go in for two weeks or so.

Jose (Master Porsche/Audi tech) at Euro Tech said the Hyperflow was installed perfectly and could NOT have made the sensor go bad.

It ran perfectly for about 3 months before this......

Default I use a gallon to a full tank of 91 it works.

I have revo and the timing turned up. The car runs smoother.
