I'm using a Mitsubishi in mine- if you intend to run 13psi or less boost
the stock valve out of a 95-99 Eclipes/Talon can be had for almost nothing
used and will do the job admirably.  Above 13psi is will leak- think of it
as "overboost protection." (-:

If you plan on high boost, then the 90-94 Mistubishi valve can be had used
for $30 or so, and will suit you just fine.  Failure rate on them is
*very* low, and they are cheap becasue a lot of import tuners "ugrade" to
bling-bling valves for the noise.

Check thePartsTrader or your local scrapyard.
