Default Help can you adjust FSE boost valves

Hi dont know too much about them but the escorts got one on, can these be adjusted? if so how and why would you adjust it? would changing / adjusting this improve my idle problem? does anybody else have one fitted do they make a massive difference, cheers lee

Chuck it in the bin. They're the touch of death for your car. Smelling a bit rich at all is it?

as above, standard ones are adjustable and won't over fuel massively under load like the fse ones.
basically for more fuel pressure, take the top nut off and you'll find a screw underneath, wind this in a bit.

in all honesty though, the rising rate is 1:1.7 so will overfuel massively on standard management, on something fully mapable it can be fine.
