GRR i got that at first acctually until i serched for it...

98.00£ EXC VAT



PART RANGE DESCRIPTION
Power boost valves increase the pressure in the fuel rail to give throttle response similar to that found in cars with carburettors.
The main performance benefits are improved acceleration through the gears and quicker pick-up on the exit from corners.

you would only normally upgrade the fpr on quite a big spec engine, tbs, big cams, headwork etc...

idea behind an uprated fpr on a standard engine is how fast the thing reacts to change, set the fpr to standard pressure. There are mixed results though

Unfortunatly no, the only way to make a car go quicker than it does standard is to literally throw money at it
