   Please use the search fuction before posting mate, this topic is covered weekly!
   
   but to answer your question, it replaces the standard fuel pressure regulator fitted to the engine. On acceleration the Power Boost Valve will increase the fuel pressure in the fuel rail. and they are not worth buying imo, a total waste of time, just means you'll use more fuel, and you won't feel a difference in performance mate!

   Best to look into things before you get them. Take it back to where you bought it from.

   YES! would be my response to your question, unless you have a need for it, i.e. cams

   Are they even worth getting if you have cams?

   not without a suitable fuel map to go with it. ie a remap would be needed.
   
   Blindly shoving in more fuel is not a good way to tune your car.
