I know they are pricey & for that matter ricey, but....
having had one apart, that Greddy "Blow of Valve"
(ricer tech "You want / need to attach a hose where!?
and plumb it back into Your INTAKE tract? What kind
of car is this?"
Can you say a "venturied" barrel (i.e. semi rolled lip) at the piston
opening?
I you have to redo your plumbing, how about a significantly larger (say @
maybe as much as a 1.5" OD vs. the stock 1") passage from high pressure side
to where ever you want to release your pent up gasses yearning to be free.
It's certainly bigger / more capacity than the 1.25" plumbed TurboXS BPV
currently on the car.
Possibly a better, single BPV solution to those big turbo applications which
in the past I'm told Audi & others have tried resorting to using two BPV's
in parallel to forestall stall. Much, much simpler plumbing.
What, at least based on a very scientific bench "finger" poke test, seems to
be a very positive "on/off" opening action ~ i.e. no leaking around the
edges, partial opening with high pressure in the intake manifold.
Oh yeah, and did I say Very, if not slightly muted in our particular
application, very Ricey looking?

~Although I agree with you all, I have also heard of failures with the Forge
~and Bailey units, too.
~My 92 is MTM 1+ currently. I'm running the Audi TT BPV, which was only 30
~bucks and hasn't failed yet. (My VW parts guy looked at me kinda
~funny when
~I bought it, but that's the least of my problems.)

~Check the archives, there was a lot of discussion about this a few months
~ago.
