Will a power boost valve have any effect on a '94 1.6 zetec engine? Is it easy to fit? I heard they can sort out flat spots, but they are heavy on petrol??
cheers

No point what-so-ever, and they HAVE to be set up on a rolling road. The only way to get round the flatspots is to chip it..

As snake and phils says there not worth it, better off saving for a chip, and you may be able to get you std one fiddled! If you want it [ERRR] your car aint running that smooth just try getting it tuned and they will probaly adjust the std one n e way!

does a chip make the engine more responsive, and would I get any power increase?
where's a good place to get it done, [ERRR] i don't want the ecu fried by some monkey...
oh, and would it be detectable by my insurance company... :???:

cheers for your help guys :razz:

well yes im sure the insurance company woulsd detect it, if they looked under the bonnet that is :wink: .

imho i wouldnt advise a superchip wouldnt be worth it for the cost/powergain ratio.
