And - will any old boost valve fit an FTO?

Will help increase fuel flow rate and pressure - usefull as part of an overall Induction,Decat,Exhaust, Manifold/Headers, fuel pump, piggy back ECU etc as it will stop the engine running too lean.

Also I thought the ECU would make sure enough fuel was thrown in the mixture.. and if it's a case of the pump not being able to keep up with demand - how would this yoke affect the fuel supply?

Are they all the same as in - would any make fit the fto? - from what I understand the simply fit onto the fuel line (cut fuel line - stick yoke in - connect fuel line)..

It would also make sense to upgrade the fuel pump (perhaps to Walbro) - but where do you stop exactly? The whole point really is to get as much fuel and air (at the right mix) through to the combustion chamber - the stock items will only do so much. The piggback ECU will help with the mix - the fuel pump and FRP will ensure that theres a better supply of fuel if needed.

I would recommend going for a FPR that is recommended for use on an FTO - Camskill/Funky sell them - not really sure about the universal type products - they may well work no problem - but I'd rather use a tried and tested part.
