Hello all, In the rally supplies store this afternoon checking out a few bits and bobs and decided to price up a power boost valve. £65 + vat. Now my questions are as follows.... 1 - For those of you that have one fitted....was it worth it ? 2 - I know I can fit it myself without any problem.....but will I need to have it set up again on the basis that it has just been set up with the standard fuel pressure regulator which does not provide adequate mixture at higher revs and therefor is compensated by the air flow meters ? 3 - Should I in all honesty declare it to the insurance ? 4 - Where does it give most boost ? 5 - I believe that it gives greatest power/boost at higher speed/revs as it pushes up the fuel pressure. Can anyone confirm/deny ? Cheers Mark

Tell me more ..... Ive just picked up this thread while browsing. Is there a down side to this product ? Has it increased overall power at certain rev's then ? Giles Giles
