Only fit one if you have lots of mods done to your engine. a std engine it wont do much..

the fse valves just raise the fuel presse to 1.7 bar as opposed to just the normal 1 bar atmospheric pressue
if you've tweaked your engine then yes, you can fit one bu they need setting up and stuff

AS above they raise the fuel pressure further than a std regulator.
Std is normally around .7/8 bar raise with vac loss whereas FSE ones raise by 1.7 bar, it justv overfuels it under all acceleration and anywhere other than very light throttle.
