Here's a URL for the FORGE bypass valve I'm using:

  http://www.stratmosphere.com/forge_valves.htm

Pick the 2.7tt model rather than the 1.8t version.  It's $139.

There have been stories on the S Car list of the valve sold by TAP 
losing an O ring, which gets sucked into the turbo with destructive
results.
