A remote pressure valve (RPV) has no direct effect on braking.   What it 
does is keep a small amount of pressure on the line downstream of the valve 
(either 2 or 10 psi) which keeps the brake pads/pistons from migrating back 
into the caliper due to pad runout.

If you had one, you'd know it.   They are normally blue (2 psi) or red (10 
psi), made by Wilwood, and are about two or three inches long and a half 
inch in diameter.
