Default Fuel Boost Valve

Hi guys.This is the pressure regulator I recently bought to go on my V6.Has anyone else used one of these? Opinions please.

My local garage refused to fit it for me,on the grounds that there was a piece missing,ie a two into one connector.This was rubbish.There are only three inlets/outlets ( fuel in,fuel out,and a vacume pipe).

I fitted it myself in 20 mins.It took the ECU a while to get used to it,and it took me a while to get the pressure setting right ( 44psi) and in sync with tickover speed.

But,when it was all done............pretty impressive piece of kit!.Zero throttle lag,instant pick up,instant response all round .

Just wanted to share and recommend this item with you all

I had one fitted and had no complaints. The top end seemed to benefit most after, of course a much quicker, throttle response. I got mine set up on a rolling road - too much fuel in a closed loop system is a big problem.
