I will argue that shell V-power is great just for it's cleaning additive anyway.

OK, first off we arent talking about your old TS, were discussing the GTA ECU. As far as asking Jano - why? Jano hasnt claimed (anywhere that I can see) that your car is mapped for 98 RON fuel - you did...
Jano only claims:
"10-12bhp increase, more torque. With altered fly-by-wire settings to improve throttle response. Rev limit raised to 7500rpm. Speed limiter removed"
Pure fiction of course (10-12 bhp) and not backed by any actual proof (ie a before and after graph on the same RR) so taken with a pinch of salt usually...

Yeah V power is great if you like overpaying for off ethanol and less petrol!
