Power boost valve

I'm thinking of fitting one of these to my gti.

Is it worth doing? and also is it easy enough to fit??

cheers

Is that the FSE power boost valve?

I put one on my old Uno Turbo, it replaced the standard fuel pressure regulator, it had an adjuster on it which I had to fiddle with - when I first went for a drive the performance was quite bad and I had to adjust it a few times until I got to a point where I thought it was good enough.

The car was later setup by a proper tuner - I think he adjusted it properly as the car felt much more powerful when he was finished.

So no, I dont know if they are any good (I have a suspision they are crap)  but if you do get one I would reccomend getting a tuner at a rolling road to set it up for you.
