Default i purchased the new bosch sport valve from hoppen, works pretty well for $40.

it is not the N tt valve that some had supposed. it is a genuine boschsport valve. hey for $100 more and the fact you cannot even see it, well then that's up to you. it made a huge difference in the power being used. i sound like some damn bpv preacher tonight, go out and buy a new bpv and your sins will be washed away!!!!

Default I just feel like im not getting much boost at all and i was thinking it was cause ive gotten used

to the car but then i get somewhat surging if i power up a hill. I just would blame it on bad gas. I'll try a new bpv, why not.

Default Get the Bosch BPV, part # 0 280 142 110. Its OEM for the 2001 SAAB Viggen, Part #4441895

It is the same Bosch BPV plastic body but based on my experience, the spring is stronger than the "N" spec ones.

Default I prefer the Forge...

I've had the old Forge, TT bpv, and new Forge. The Forge is badass. Shining aluminum, sold built and fully adjustable. When I poke the bottom of the TT bpv with my finger it sticks and doesnt move smoothely at all. The new Forge moves silky smooth with much more confidence.

They both drived almost the same but the Forge is still a little smoother.

The main difference in the 2 is the sound. I can hear the turbo more which is cool and it makes a louder blow off sound and more defined. The TT valve was quiet and kinda more like a farting sound, I got a intake also and borla exaust.
