Default Bailey is smaller than the Forge, and they both offer valves in black.

The smaller bailey is probably more stock looking. You could also buy the upgraded Bosch part...I haven't seen this in person, but it probably looks like stock. Are you trying to find one that won't stick out like a sore thumb when your dealer is poking around doing their thing?

Default I think you mean the Bosch BPV that Turbo5 used to sell...

It looks just like the stock BPV on the outside; I think it has a stiffer spring. I had this on my A4 and it's a bit smooother than stock. But, the Forge is even better (as I'm sure the Bailey valve is).

Default Has anyone tried out the new TT valve yet?

I believe that one can sustain 1.6 bar of boost.
