How to adjust fse power boost valve?
A friend here fitted fse boost valve to his VVC together with a pressure meter. He adjusted it himself but his fuel consumption rose twice. He says with a full depot he can go 250kms! He says he adjusted it to 3,2 bars at idle. He first heated the car and when the revs fell to 750-800 he adjusted it manually. He is asking how should the adjustment be done? He does not want to go to rr but wants to set it manually. He says he read on Rob's site that a trophy benefited from 3.2 so he set his to the same but he wants to know if he should set it at 0.5bars less at idle (i.e. 2.7bars) to get 3.2 at full throttle.

Re: How to adjust fse power boost valve?
hi there 250 kms on a full tank is not very good I would ,and get 400 mls to a full tank( 50lts) to convert kms to mls havle the kms and then add the first number, eg 80 kms =40 + 8 not 100% correct but close. So 250kms is only 145 mls to a full tank = 3 mls per ltr should be 7-8+ mls per ltr
