Hi to everyone!

I live in Bangkok, Thailand and drive a Subaru Impreza WRX 2004 (standard version, no mods).

The fuel available here is RON 95! Due to hot weather and improper storage facilities at the pump stations, my car gets lots of pinking under strong acceleration.

I tried to solve the problem by adding Octane Boosters but they do not seem to work!

There is a new item on the market named Broquet! The importer says it is produced in UK. They claim it improves the octane value and reduces pinking.

They also say that the original Imprezas sold to UK were provided with Broquet from the factory!

Can anyone please help with the issue? Does this thing really work?

I really need an answer, Broquet costs a lot overhere, but if it really cures the pinking I consider it worth buying!

Sorry if this topics was discussed before, I tried to look for a thread about it, could not find one!

Appreciate all the help!
Andrew G.

hi andrew,
i have exactly the same situation as far as 95 ron is concerned. ive also looked into many octane enhancers fuel cats, fuel tank pellets etc but decided the only true way to be in control of pinking is to either remap or fit an engine management ecu. its the old cooks theory ..you cant bake a good cake without the right ingredients. in my opinion , a remap for 95 ron is the most cost effective, if not the ONLY solution in the long run. dont take too long thinking about remedying the problem as you are killing your engine in the current set-up.
