manual boost valve

Unread post by trinity060 »

hello there, i have a p reg activa and have purchased a manual boost valve (as directed by gareth) but am not totally sure on how to fit it correctly. if anyone out there has fitted one themselves some instruction would be great, and pics would also help. also i need advise as to where the plumbing for the gauge shoud be spliced into. hope someone will help. i have a need for speed. i hear it makes it quite exceptional

Sorry :oops: My brain is fuzzled so badly with this 'flu it's not true.

Hopefully Gareth will see it here and respond very soon.

i think this may be another question for gareth. once the boost valve is fitted is it worth replacing the exhaust and if so with what, is there a factory fit one or is it a custom fit job if so who and where, cheers

I would go de-cat first, then the rest of the system. The back box is quite restrictive too.
