If you are having to ask how to do it you shouldn't be doing it yourself. Upping the boost pressure without ensuring the fueling is correct WILL end in expensive tears due to something like this.

Don't need it chipped but you will need to ensure there is fuel to match the increase in boost. I'm not overly sure where the standard boost cut is (about 10psi iirc). You may as well get a 165 chip and have it set up by a reputable tuner to ensure nothing goes pop on you.

Would a power boost valve not give the engine the extra fuel for the increased boost?

Power Boost valve is one of the biggest cons going. The standard Ford item is fully adjustable and up to everything you will ever want to throw at it.

Thanks For Your Help

as above mate get a tuner to do it for you the standard ford on is on the end of the fuel rail and IMO 100% better than an FSE boost valve.

YOU don't do it. I'm pretty sure you don't know what you are doing as you don't know where it is and most people don't have a wideband lambda to check fueling while the engine is under proper load.

I'm not trying to be funny with you just trying to save you a lot of money when things go wrong. Most tuners are pretty happy to let you watch so you can learn about what's going on
