just got my power boost valve fitted to my corsa b sxi. she's running at 80 bhp now, which is pretty good considering she was 62 standard. started with the KnN, then the carbon drive shafts from AJS. full sebling exhaust system. then took it to pioneer to get the power boost valve put on and rolling roaded. since then i have had her in to AJS for slight ajustments on the fuelintake. belive me she flies. ive kept up with a vtr upto about 60. top speed of 118. pics to prove and dyno run papers. have been told big wheels put the perfomance down a bit, but dont really know how true. would like to meet or talk to people with same displacement plz. lee

I might be able to see the point in this if you had decent power, sounds like a full on waste of money to me

yes FSE waste of time. why does a fairly standard engine require an increase in fuel pressure

Erm... I find it more amusing that I spent £60 buying a 2nd hand exhaust system and got my Corsa B Sxi to 81 bhp...
Where as this guy has spent a mint and has less power than me
