A bypass valve replacement will not by itself add hp, unless your old one was bad and leaked boost air out. I think the main benefit of the forge valve is the reliability. The stock bosch valve will not last long with stock boost, let alone higher than stock. So why keep spending $75/ea when you can spend $130 once? THe performance benefit comes in during shifts. It opens slightly faster when you lift the throttle to bleed the boost off quicker, which keeps the turbo spinning. Then, when you shift to next gear and hit the gas again, the boost will build up slightly faster. Buy it for the reliability factor, not for a big performance increase. Who can feel 2 hp anyway? I bought mine from stratmosphere.com who offers lifetime warranty.
