	idea behind an uprated fpr on a standard engine is how fast the thing reacts to change, set the fpr to standard pressure. There are mixed results though

	you would only normally upgrade the fpr on quite a big spec engine, tbs, big cams, headwork etc...

	Does ANYONE acctually have one of these? possibly the rally/track lads?
Gaz	posted on 20th Feb 06 at 13:21
	ive been told it just has a lighend spring with the thing that opens quicker and aloows a touch more in... surely it can be controlled though

	GRR i got that at first acctually until i serched for it... 98.00£ EXC VAT PART RANGE DESCRIPTION Power boost valves increase the pressure in the fuel rail to give throttle response similar to that found in cars with carburettors. The main performance benefits are improved acceleration through the gears and quicker pick-up on the exit from corners.
