waste of time and money unless you go onto throttle bodies. its just an adjustable pressure regulator, and no better than a standard item really. FSE ones are crap as well, they tend to 'wander' all over the place between 2.5-3.5 bar when mine was set to 3. now ive got a fixed 3 bar webber item.

I have one on my c20xe.

Got rid off all the flat spots all the way thru the revs. Made it a little more smoother thru the revs too

It's justy an adjustable pressure regulator, and they are known to die randomly aswell, a adjustable weber one is a much safer buy (he says still using an FSE, lol)

Whats the crack with these, im trying to get my engine up to the highest spec money wise before i get it remapped or buy a remapped ECU ...

want to get Dblias flowtech induction kit, 4-2-1 and someone suggested to me a powerboost valve so what do you all reckon, anyone give me an insight on what they do and also can they be fitted without the secondry air pump in place..
