I know its ben asked a few times before ... mate told me on his nova which has quite alot of mods (1.6 8v) he felt it smooth his rev range and make feel as if it rev's easier.. i know these basically add more fuel into the engine but im wandering if from my car spec i would see any benefits...

Piper de-cat, stainless 1.75" bore system, standard manifold, Dblias inlet, Pipercross Panel filter and drilled air box

i do get a few flat spots and the car does feel a bit boggy low down the revs so wandering if this would help or whether its actually worth me saving to get a 4-2-1 ...

Thanks Rob

in theory you get ur car breathing more you want better fueling to cope.

power boost valves in theory sound good as they can get the fuel pressure up quicker but most people reckon they just overfuel so remap ecu may work just as well

remap is what you need. power boost valves are not any better than standard. the standard ones are a lot more reliable as well as the pbv's tend to wander and adjust the pressure at random. ive had 2 different ones and both have been crap.

i now use a fixed 3 bar webber one.
