I understand what the vakues are for, but do you really need them? What is the downside to eliminating them altogether!

These are the ones we use on all Turbos and GT2s, whether stock or modded to the hilt...

I have a full thread and explanation of why us Turbo guys need these...

After a while this is what we find when we cut open the stock DV's.. The diaphrams gets a tear and you start to bleed boost.

The "compact smooth stealth" ones here

http://ww2w.stratmosphere.com/hyperboost.htm

they are the standard aftermarket piston type with a stiffer spring than stock. They are almost stock in size and look. The piston is the same size as an evo or forge DV.

The only thing about those is I don't think they have a "swivel" mount? On the 996TT where space is so tight and you can't move/turn things around so easily having the swivel makes the install a lot easier

they are sold in pairs and as much as I'd "love" to help you out, I'd say they would be "happier" if you bought and installed them there... Might as well keep your local place going!

Sharkster,

280 is for both or that is the price of each??

Might as well get them for when it comes time to swap the original ones...

Guys, you should look at the Baileys or Forge units.. If you look at these units you will see some nice features...
