its broken £55 now so i dont think its worth bidding anymore, seen as the 007p goes for £80 brand new!

if no one else bids then it'll be like £70 all in... whats the point for a dumpvalve you dont know about and has been used?

think ill just buy the 007p

I was going to bid on it too, but never botherd. The forge piston valve is just over 100 notes including VAT and delivery. The one on ebay was the diaphragm version, which never sold very well, so they stoped making it and bought out the newer piston version. The only good thing about it was that if you had a turbo upgrade you never had to dismantle it, where as the piston valve you do. The piston dv is a tad faster too, and gets rid of the turbo lag assosiated with the original bosch type VAG supply.
to answer ants question in a previous post, i have a fresh air cold induction kit, which runs down the wing and under the car. Nice set-up, but it does make a slight swooshing sound caused by the valve. The original airbox was more enclosed, so you nether really hear it. I personally quite like this sound as its not too annoying, and can only be hered from inside the car. The kit was about 50 pounds off fleabay. Comes with a breather filter for the smog pipe. Gives the car 7-12 HP extra (apparently) as its based on the evo sports kit.
