ok, i think I finally fixed the problem on my car...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/7612/bov.jpg"></center><p>I own three DVs a well used Turbo XS (took apart and you should see the wear on the piston!), a well used Forge 006 and a hardly used GFB hybrid BOV. Well after installing the ECS N75 I found some imporvment but I was still bleeding boost swapped out the 006 for the xs and it was worse. Said what the hell, and stuck the hybrid BOV and shazm my car is running well again!!! I don't attribute this the BOV, just a DV that is not f'd up. Adjusted it and no mo flutter like my original install and it is working like a charm. I will be buying a close loop GFB DV ASAP.
Pic of install, not a great set-up imo but it works for now.
I do not think this BOV is a good idea BTW, just working for me now.

hhhm, wonder why I have not had the same thing ????
I should pull the 007p off that I have now, it was brand new at the point of Stg 3 install, should have been put through the ringer by now, I should check it.

Well figuring I put at least about 20k on mine
probably the most anyone running the valve has and probably not what it was designed for.
No o-ring on that bad boy, and with mm between piston and wall of DV only so much lube(yes I said lube ;--p) can do.

check for an abraded section equaling total piston travel...
no matter what greases i used the contact area seems to scrape minute quantities of aluminumm off of piston which mixes with grease and abrades the piston further..for this kind of seal ....i think its bad engineering..oring is susecptible to distortion and piston wears to fast..probably chose this kind of metal cause its fast and easy to tool the part..
