Dont expect big things from them,(Power Boost valve) seems a joke they can sell it with that name. just an ajustable fuel pressure regulator.

If you are going to fit one get it set up by someone who knows what they are doing on a rolling road.

needs setting up first
better to get other mods like exhaust and cams and a bit of head work done before you do the valve business

don't forget to change the chain if it's got a few miles on it either

you sure?
jim's running a 2.3 in his and he's using 210 injectors (don't ask me, i don't have a clue) from a vauxhall and it's knocking out 170 brake using the 8V head as per his rr print out at geoff bloor a few weeks ago

and thats with a knocking bottom end (but i will let him mention that to you as it's a bit embaressing )

what does the fpr look lke on teh 16V then? on the 8v lump you can pop the cap off and use an allen key to twiddle it a little one way or the other to give you more/less

yes it's basic backyard technology but theres no pint in forking otu loads of dosh for soemthing jsut because it's got a fancy knob on it
