I would only recommend the 993oem replacement unit or a Forge unit.

I have the Evo Ms diverter valve, works great for me, I think it has a redline lubricant inside, keeps it working for years to come.

BUAHAHAHAHHAAA..

dont get that second one.. They are cheep knock offs of the turboXS valves.
They are taking that company to the cleaners soon, they quite literaly make them in some sweat shop in korea..

I admit they are almsot dead on replicas but they are aparently junk, the seals wear out fast and you will have boost leaks..

there are alot of legitimate palces that sell the turboXS stuff, its great I highly recomend them..

Even summit sells their stuff now

Just get the one made for VW's they are a perfect fit

Those things on ebay are dog ****. Contact Mike @ Forge, or boost science.

sadly ebay users have mastered creating replica blow off valves. One of those is a replica of the boostscience and is a complete POS that breaks after a while. The nice thing about a POS blow off is that when it breaks it sends parts into your turbo AND your motor

What is the difference in an adj. one over one with just a stiffer spring, like a Saab or 996 BOV?
