If you mean one of those power boost valve things that raise the fuel pressure then they are best left to the corsa boys, i have read a couple of cases of them causing engine fires.

only really worth using if you are running high spec and need it as part of your setup to increase fuel supply by increasing pressure rather than going for larger injectors!

do you mean a fse style boost valve or one of those, "t" pieces you put in the inlet pipes to cause "turbulnce" in the inlet manfold which supposedly causes better fuel aie mixture.
either way its not worth bothering but i cant see how the second would cause fire.
