What is the best bypass valve for the 200???

I know I was considering the FORGE because of its ability to be rebuilt.

I have played with them--never ended up purchasing one because my BPV wasn't
broken the vacuum line was--anyway, they can be taken apart, lubed up, and
o-rings and the piston can be replaced. I guess just recently, the Forge ha=
ve
gone from a nylon piston to a metal piston so I suppose they are
interchangeable.  In my opinion, it's more comforting knowing you can repla=
ce
the parts on it to keep the turbo running tip-top.  Also, they're beefy as
hell and look as though they can take quite a beating.

As for performance, a buddy with a urS4 has one after I recommended it and
says he likes it quite a bit.  It keeps the turbo spooled up better than the
stock BPV, especially since the car's chipped.

Price--$140 I believe.
