I used the larger piston/diaphram piece. Supposed to have excellent staying
power, it certainly handle my blowoff well and sounded like a shotgun when we
closed the throttle at the end of the dyno pull, scared the shit and all out
of me the 1st time till I figured out what it was.

Get rid of one of the BP valves and plumb the big forge in. Use stiff
Silicone, mail me offline and I will get you a source. Also plumb for 1" as
this is the valves nipple size and heavy silicone doesnt like to stretch.
Mine works beautifully with one.
