Yeah, I never heard them called a "power boost valve" before. Must be a UK thing. I found this definition...<p>"The 'Power Boost Valve' is a pressure regulator, designed for use on 'electric fuel injection' engines with a special fuel enrichment facility for accelleration, commonly known as a 'Rising Fuel Rate'."<p>Sounds like creative marketing to me.

I read somewhere that possibly Miata clear side repeaters work on the MX-3.<p>There are quite a few owners from the uk on this board maybe we can organise a group buy which may make shippin cheaper. I'm in if we do this!

That will achieve - bore/ring problems with fuel wash, excessive soft carbon build-up and poorer gas mileage. Over-rich mixture will not give extra power.<p>[ March 31, 2003: Message edited by: IanL ]</p>
Re-shaped and re-sized gearshift lever. Best driveability mod you can do!
