   Just looks like a fuel pressure regulator, won't really do much without mods that require additional fueling

   Not worth is at all mate, it has been mentioned a few time on here if you want to see the reasons why but you are essentially wasting your money buying that.

   Yup that's all it is. Just a very expensive fuel regulator. The thing is if you car is modified to such a point that you want to start altering fuelling you would be far better off getting full remap. You would really want the fuel pressure regulator set on a rolling road anyhow. So for the price you may as well forget the valve and just get the car mapped.
