The car will most probably run worse.

Utter shit.

The Ford item is adjustable on many cars and just upping the line pressure really isn't a cure to anything. It's just not how the systems work.

When I tested one on a vauxhall XE engine the results were:
Worse idle (too lean)
Loss in power at WOT (too rich)

You could adjust it so either one of those two was correct, but then the other was out by twice as much.

I would suggest that making widespread sweeping changes to your entire fuelling across the range, is probably a bad way to attempt to do so.

Do you have a wideband? If not borrow one and see what it does.

Had one fitted to my MGF engined metro... It was wound right up...awful idle, Ran ok but drunk fuel!

I discoverd it was running 1.4 injectors on a 1.8 engine!!

So fitted 1.8 injectors & removed FSE and mucho better!!

Just a bodge tool Imho...
