I’ve been running this in my turbo pro and in my Alpha with the high compression head. Works as advertised. Also run the oil they recommend.

I also carry the oil - all of it is amazing - best thing I ever did was to stop huffing the av gas and ran the shellbourne

I would like to hear more about anyone using this on higher output turbos 7-9 psi. My biggest turnoff running turbos is carrying race/av. How much is a litre of this concentrate? Is it leaded? Your picture isn’t clear when you expand it.

I have run this concentrate at 12 lbs boost @ 2000ft - zero problems - unleaded shellbourne race concentrate is $35 per 1L can - 240ml of it mixed with 20L of 91 brings it to 96 - 1 can will mix u up 4 Gerry cans - $35/can if u get a case of 12 - $40/can if you get less than a case - + cost of shipping to wherever you are - I try to meet with people in red deer or edm if I'm on the way to sicamous or Renshaw

I have to ask the obvious why isn’t everyone raving about it. Strictly for the reason of not carrying the volume just use pump gas and go. Tank of 100LL av we will say 38 litres x1.6 $61 for tank, to get same octane off pump race combo you need 19 litres premium 1.3 and 19 litres race x4/l is $100 a tank I realize race and av act differently this is straight octane protection. With your stuff you are very similar price for a tank and equivalent octane as av gas but I can carry a few litres of concentrate and use pump if it’s real it would sway me to run turbos.

If you run Costco premium - which I do - @ $1.05/L + the cost of the shellbourne @ $35/can - divided by 4 is $8.75 per 20L Gerry can - divided by 20 - cost per litre of the shellbourne is 44cents/L tacked onto the $1.05 Costco premium - you are looking $1.49/L - which is awesome for 96 octane - how hard is it to add 240ml to a Gerry can - it's not - no more airport trips - bonus - shellbourne eats ethanol - shellbourne works amazing - I dare everyone and anyone running race gas @ $4/L approx.+ - or av gas (not sure the price of it) - to try shellbourne - you will notice a huge improvement in bottom end response compared to av gas

90% of the sledders out west here have no idea what the shellbourne is - and most people think of it as an additive - it's not an additive - amsoil octane booster is an additive - so many people are also so scared to try anything other than av gas or race gas because the people in the shops tell them to run it - I'll post a pic that will help people understand the shellbourne better - the bottle on the left is an additive - you can tell by reading the ingredients on the bottle - the big black can in the middle is race gas - very expensive and works well - the shellbourne on the right also works very well - you are not gonna get to know the ingredients due to copyright legal stuff I'm sure - but it is basically the black race can compressed down into that little 1 L can - remember race gas is not made in a refinery - they get their base fuel also on rail cars etc - to their warehouse and there they add chemicals

sounds like this would save some hassle mixing for sure
I have ran 25% av with the 75% 91marked in the past
price wise it would only be .60cents more for 20l fuel mixture with this product and alot less hassle
def food for thought thx kingcat

@ $1.49/L for 96 octane - I don't think there is anything out there than can even compare to this - av gas with the carbon tax has to be at least $1.60 a liter or more - and if you do the math on how much you are paying for the 91 octane then adding the av gas to it and how much the cost of that is tallied onto the 91 - I think the shellbourne is the cheapest/best/easiest scenario to go personally

I mix 500 ml into 5 gallons of premium for my turbo and have run up to 10 lbs boost. Never any detonation.
Absolutely - I'm running a powderfreaks head and have cranked it to 12lbs mixing it at 96 octane @ 2000ft and have had zero det also - it took off on me so hard I thought my adjustable riser block was gonna peel apart

TSS centre mount on a 2015 etec T3 - completely re-engineered kit by yours truly - heavy amounts of mods - but still stock 800 crank and jugs with wossners - just a freaks head and a bunch of time effort and anger and cash dumped into her
