There is a ebayer that is selling a good looking machined billet aluminum diverter valve for $55 each. It looks like a good line between the fall apart stock units and the expensive tuner company models. Has anyone bought one of these? He has 2000 excellent feedback, so there are quite a few out there on the road. I searched and couldn't find this topic discussed. The video on his listings show a well built part IMO.

that is his store. He has three different models. I am looking towards the one with three different springs to use as I am not sure I want a blowoff valve, and I am currently running stock turbos/boost. The adjustable one seems too hard to calibrate (how would you know both sides are the same).

Any feedback or opinions are appreciated. I don't know that mine have failed, but I figure they are a known weakness, so they might as well go.

 

Even better and cheaper. Search their website for part# ES#250636

Why is it better? It looks like an OEM plastic part to me. For all I know, that is what I have on my car currently.

 

Yup! It is the updated 710N model. Works great! Saves you moeny! And you know it is the right part!
What's not to like?
Remember that you need 2 DVs on your 2.7t

 

From my point of view, I will go with BOV instead of DV ... I just love tha pssshhhh noise ... but if you go BOV, go for a hybrid if you don't want any bad code ... mine is a Forge Motorsport Hybrid BOV/DV fully adjustable ( 75%DV, 25%BOV ) 175$ (for one) kind of expensive but worth it ...but you might need short ram intake to hear the psshhh noise ... as for calibration of the Forge, it's easy, just need to put the same amount of click on both side ...

 

I was hoping someone has some feedback on the one from e-bay as $55 for a solid aluminum unit that looks fairly stock is a pretty good deal. I don't know that my car hasn't already been changed out to the 710N, but I like the idea of knowing that it is durable and made to last. The 710 N is no cheaper than these E-bay units and is made of plastic. Coors, I see that you have chipped yours so it seems the 710s can handle some extra load. I just want some honest feedback on this part as it might be a good aftermarket part. 1/3 the price of the forged units that look exactly the same.

 

Looks good. Worth a shot. Give it a try and let us know.
