ladys and gents

i hope there is someone out there that can help! i resently brought a FSE power boost valve for my e36 328i, and i have no idea how to fit it! i have the pressure gauge to set the valve up on completion but cannot for the life of me work out where it needs to go! my engine is the M52
and the part number for the valve is VK-384-3185-H

any response would be a massive help!

many thanks

Welcome to the forum 

With regards to 'power boost valves' I think that there is a split opinion on whether they actually do anything.

I'm sure there will be folks on here who have fitted them and can give an opinion and fitting advice etc.
