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..
Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...

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!

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!

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.
