Just went to fill up, i was in a world of my own at the petrol station. So i filled 20L of Uleaded petrol before realizing what i have done. Is this going to do damage to my engine/turbo etc?

I guess you could just fill it as much as possible with 98 and take it easy till you fill up again (with 98 :-p)

Octane booster is bad for the spark plugs! Id syphon it and just throw in 98. Would a fuel filter change afterwards be too anal?
