I put in NF sport in my car and it made ZERO difference on the dyno. No torque or power increase. This is after driving for at least 100km. full bottle on a near empty tank and then I filled up. I heard people quoting a 10kw increase at least. pfffftttt! :lol:

Depends on how your car is set up. My car was pulling timing like a mofo on my previous map so adding NF made a big difference because it corrected that. If your car is running optimally on 95 then it'll make little to no difference...

Agree with Ryan on this .. my car runs good on the std 95 pump fuel .. but a bottle of NF (black) and it a different beast ..

Nope, I had timing pull. Can't say that it did much to alleviate that. It's a once off experiment though, I think I'll try black next. :)

Sorry to hijack, but does the coler plugs really make a difference?

I used the NF Ultra and it made a big difference, need to dyno tho to see actual figures..

Colder plugs are generally recommended if you're pushing more boost and timing yeah, apparently a step colder for every 80kW over stock that you're pushing so I'd think going colder plugs would mainly apply to K04 and higher conversions. The revision E part of the coil packs also, my car has coils that are on the replacement list, they go boom eventually so I decided to do new coils along with my plugs.

Check here for plug and coil info: Coil Pack and Spark Plug Info consolidated

I used NF Ultra and lost power as my car is not setup for OB or race fuel.
The only race you have to win is the race against yourself - there will always be someone faster and stronger but there will never be another you, so look within and push your own personal boundaries.
