Blew it to bits in three days

Well, "to bits" is a slight exaggeration. I fitted one because it is supposed to withstand more boost pressure than the standard valve. However, within three days of fitting a brand new -110 valve to my Maptun-powered 9000 Aero (running about 1.6 bar), the diaphragm split. I think this is something to do with the brass weight attached to the centre of the diaphragm. I refitted the standard valve and all was fine.
I now run a piston-type BPV from Bailey and have no problems. The action sounds quicker than the standard valve, so I'm hoping it is better both for performance and for my turbo.
If you want one of the -110 valves, though, they're not too expensive from a Saab dealer.
