I also have the spg9 bosch viggen valve. It's rated for 20 psi. The problem is my spg9 apc box allows more than that. I get a weird hesitation or fluctuation at full throttle. So I'm assuming it's the bosch valve letting pressure out with pressure spikes. I don't know for sure but the forge valve is real metal and looks pretty durable. Not to mention they offer lifetime warranty. The case should last forever but the diaphram probably wears out eventually. The guy from stratosphere posted that it can hold up to 3 bar of pressure. I believe 1 bar=15 psi so if true, that would be around 45 psi! Even if I'm wrong about my current bosch valve I still think the forge unit is worth it. The plastic diaphram in bosch valves doesn't last long (2-3yrs??) with high engine temps and high pressures (my opinion). So why keep spending $75 when you can get a machined metal unit with lifetime warranty for $140? Please note that Cliff uses a bigger and probably better valve that you might want to consider.
