My opinion ...
Diaphram DVs are faster and more responsive than piston style DVs. Properly oriented (boost to edge) the 710N is fine for boost levels in the 21-22 psi range. Above that I'd look at Greddy or APRs new offering. I run the Greddy ... no first hand knowledge on APRs.
I had a Forge .. got tired of the whack when lifting after high boost and the near constent need to service the damn thing. I ran the 710n for years before buying the Greddy and would have no problem going back to it.
my .0075$ worth

That said... I now have this one, and I must say I am VERY impressed with the quality.
I ordered it and was hesitant, but it's NICE.
I am very happy with it.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&sspagename=S TRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=26011427141 3&rd=1,1">Fleabay: BPV looks like a Forge/all metal slightly bigger stock replacement.</a></li>

For what application? I've run a 710N in my chipped A4 for 6 years now
now worries. Swapped it out a few months back thinking it may be on its last legs after all that time.
Looked new. Sent it to Silver whatever for his tool box

710N is fine.
should last years like mine...
I have the X-chip. did both at around 5k and have 70k now. Swapped it out a few months ago and it was like new....
a bit dirty though

The stock one was fine at 8 years old, but gave up the ghost when Shep 1.8T snapped the nipple off
Easy enough to do and he replaced it for free.
