Default well...for me...it made a really nasty "farting" noise everytime boost was released

and also my boost gauge wasnt hitting what it was supposed to be hitting. It could've also been the lower turbo hose which has leaked on me before but since BPV's were known to blow...i checked that first.

Is that mostly a stage III problem, or could X chipped cars w/ TT BPV have the same prob?

Default Should have went with a 110 instead

which is the same as the MC/turbo5/evo valve. That lasted more then 60K miles on my car and then was used on a friends car where I did not pay attention to what I was doing and put it on backwards like his stock one was on. So when I got my car out of the shop with the 2 liter I put another 110 valve on and still have it on there after 15K miles.

Default Any car that runs high boost (20+psi)

The next step up from the TT(710N) valve would be the porsche(110).
