the title says it all, any body know where i can get a guide or help?
-
msn search shoiuld find one
-
Has anyone actually used one of these on their cars? If so can you actually notice any difference at all?
-
It tells you on the box how to do it!!!! Unless you got it second hand. (without box)
I got one on my other car (Peugeot 405 Mi 16) and its dead easy to fit! Just secure it then change a few fuel lines around.
Yes it does make a difference, but more in the driveablity of the car rather than extra power. It makes the car more throttle responsive.

this is a proper thing.. and not to be confused with the "allegedly" crappy ecotek power boost valve..
-
Heard a few views about it, the blurb says it acts as a non return valve (the return pipe to the tank) so that the relief pressure is raised.
A mechanic friend told me that all they do is boost the fuel pressure.
Either way it can only be a good thing!
-
it comes with instructions but there just sh!t (for someone who knows very little about engines)
-
You just need to find a suitable place to secure the valve (it should have a bracket in the box), then take off the fuel lines and connect it the way they tell you too! Dead simple!
-
im gonna have to give it go
-
It is simple just remove the fuel regulator at the end of the fuel rail( left side of fuel rail if your looking at the engine) and replace it with the adaptor plate then just plum in the hoses. The valve won't fit a 1994 golf or below you need to adapt it.
-
is this the fuel regulator? (trying to upload image!!!) situated bottom left of engine under the air filter with pipes running in and out of it? if so i know im not too sharp with engines but tommorrow is the day, il let ya know how it goes(http://)
-
well i had a go :sad:, never really happened, can someone check my dub gallery and tell me if that is a pressure regulator
-
I would say yes that is your fuel regulator!
If its got fuel lines.........
-
taking to garage tomorrow to get fitted, easy way out but finally gonna get there!!!!!!!
-
finally got it fitted :smiley: it does what it says and there certainly is a noticable improvement in throttle response, the car feels generally happier when you put your foot down. also when the car felt to have more get up and go at high speeds, like it!!!
-
I'm actually quite surprised you found that much difference! Great stuff!
Have to get one for my Golf now! Or maybe I just swipe the one off the Mi 16!!! :evil: :laugh:

Yes it was a superchip and about the same price, l think its was £250+vat or something. its give it a lot more torque and the engine comes alive at about 3k now, don't expect to much but you can nip about a bit now without trashing the bollox out of it.
