From reading the subrau STi forums, nope. They up their boost and run a 50/50 mix of Shell 91 and Toluene. They don't recommend you let it sit in your tank for a long period of time, but other than that, peeps say it works sweet and smells good too.
When I flash my GF's ECU in her bike I'll add some ignition timing and see how it does :D

Post vid or a thread on that, I'm interested.
The sweet smell is the characteristic of those compounds, not healthy for u tho

Yes... I read it's very very bad for you. A few sniffs and your sperm are dead!
Most of the STi guys are buying it by the gallon from Sherwin Williams. Their website is busted at the moment, but I'ma pay them a visit tomorrow and see what the deal is :) http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&pws...g&ved=0CAUQyBM

Although it appears you do have issues with the carbs. I wouldn't start there. The maintenance history of the bike appears to be unknown therefore I would first check the valves and ignition timing.
First check / adjust valves and Check ignition timing
If all is good there then focus on the carbs
Read the Troubleshooting Section (Section 20) - Poor Performance at Low and Idle Speeds
http://dc384.4shared.com/download/_Y...94_Service.pdf
Valves with incorrect clearance can cause the symptoms you are seeing.
Also, syncing the carbs when the valves are out of spec is a waste of time.
If you are not mechanically inclined bring the bike to a mechanic or someone who is. Cost will mostly be labour if there are no major issues, and will vary between shops. ** Make sure to get a quote **
Valve clearance in the manual (link above) is on page 3-5
Valve Adjustment Guide- CBR 600 F2/F3

She likes to go fast :) Shoulda seen the smile on her face when she came back from the first ride with the flashed ECU. Her first question... "How much is a steering damper?" LOL!
That's my girl :D

Re: new bike new problems
Toluene is easy cheap and effective. I used to run it in my car when I drag raced it...25 psi of boost thru the stock intercooler with no pinging. Worked good.
