Will work well with you current mods imo.

Set up will depend on where you get it done, but it doesnt take long. Probably be a fixed amount like an hours labour or summit.

slightly better throttle response.. but not much more really.

ive heard that the PBV and ecotech cancel each other out or is that not true?

a pbv valve is ok to compliment other mods and when it is setup properley.

BBPT charge £185 + VAT for PBV including RR set up etc.

Would think if you add a CHIP and PBV to your current mods your breathing and fueling will be pretty useful and you should get good gains.

PBV are best used when you need more fuel than the standard set up provides. Usually when you have cams fitted. But not every ones got that kinda budget!

I had my pbv set up on a rolling road. My mods are cat back exhaust decat and modified airbox with panel filter. Once set up it gave another 3bhp and more torque ~ 3-4 ftlb from 2 - 4.5k.

What were you making all together?

Would have thought a chip would finish that lot off and give about 145bhp?
