What are you trying to achieve? And what level of modification is your engine. The power boost valve is a rising rate fuel pressure reg and can easily over fuel your engine causing bore wash. I'd rather save and go for independent engine management.

Correct. You can get a lot more power from cylinder head work and a good cam.

As above. Decent cylinder head and cam are your better options (I have stage 3 head and Swiftune SW5 cam)
I would only fit a fuel boost valve in conjunction with these mods. Not instead of.
But as with all mpi engines, the biggest restriction is the ECU
