Cool true or false?

Is the turbo 108 octane boost good for the EVO? Some people said is really good! And that you also get more horse power, others said is the biggest scam! I need you guys opinon. I do not feel any difrence,but that is just me.

I say scam, and I doubt they can foul your plugs, not enough in the little bottle to do anything but drain your wallet! dump a 5 gallon blue can of VP race gas to get your gains!

I does very little for what its worth, and some of them have a chemical known as MTE (I think) that is bad for your O2 sensor ...
O BTW you are not a GOD if you are asking such questions ... ... God status removed!!!

I don't know about whether octane boosters will foul your plugs, but if you run too high of an octane gas, you could foul your plugs and damage O2 sensors.

I've never used octane booster in any of my cars, so I can't comment on any adverse affects, if any occur.

octane doesn't foul plugs or o2's lead fouls them. only very high octane race gas has lead in it and the longer you have run your O2's before the lead the longer they will last.
