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. ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped..
