power boost valve is a fuel pressure regulater, it basically controls the amount and pressure of fuel before entering the engine hence why it is in the fuel line and hence regulates, they are only needed on a very high performance vehicle with alot of bhp

they are complete waste of time on low powered cars an if a garage trys to say otherwise they are just feeding you sales bull

and so ive heard from a few vauxhall wizards a corsa already has a really good fueling system so thats a nother reason not to WASTE 100 quid on one
