Installed a few weeks ago, I finally took some pics. Shifts are amazing, idle is so solid. I don't miss my BOV.

What psi?
No. I know I want the faster diaphragm type.
I was asking what psi dave's failed at.
Based on budget and current setup, the 710n best suited me. If I was running higher psi, forge is where its at.forge 007>>>>>>>710n, or whatever yours it
They're good for like infinity psi. no failures!
It gave a good service life of a couple of years running 12-13psi. I think it failed due to my kjet not having a path to shoot the air directly to the turbo inlet. My air return is a bit further away. With wide open throttle and low boost like 6psi it works great. But in the area from around 8-10psi or so I get a backfire out the tailpipe which I think is caused by the airflow reversing and popping the air flow sensor closed. That may also have affected the cbv. When it failed it had a punctured diaphragm causing idle vacuum to go up to around 4in hg. So I bought the Forge stock Saab replacement which is a sealed version for around $90 a few years ago. I think you'll be fine and for the price the Porsche/Audi one is worth using.
I've used the original all rubber unit for a year or so without failure. Upgraded to the brass insert Porsche/Audi unit which lasted for a couple of years. Then I bought the Forge Saab replacement unit which is about 3 years old now.
