not unless you have other mods... all it really does is raise the fueling. Increased fuel without better airflow in and exhaust gasses out won't might actually result in a decrese in performance


i talked to some lancer boys on an aussie forum (exclusive-auto.net) and any of the guys with the same engine as the GS (4G93) reckoned not to bother with Power Boost Valves unless you have other mods like an induction kit, performance manifold, enlarged throttle bodies....

i was thinking of modding the GS but after talking to these aussie guys i didnt like what i was hearing - lots of money for little performance gains.... one guy was running an rpw performance manifold, enlarged throttle bodies, induction kit, boost valve and he only saw an additional 15bhp - that's 15bhp for about 1500 euro.... sure i could probably get a nice GPX for that + my GS.
