For future reference... Track Dog sells an AV23T valve. Bit awkward to get in the UK: trackdogracing.com/superchargerbypasscheckvalve90-00.aspxWhen mine failed after what I guess was about 5 years and started being a kazoo, I got one of these off Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JKG5RQ2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_1x7gwbR38NYNFthroughJust added a couple of tails. The TDR / AV23T is much smaller and more elegant but the Amazon option came to about £5 all in. However it is starting to fail after about a year. Being relatively easy to get inside though I might be able to fix it. Bizarrely the failure isn't a leak on boost, it's at idle where the problem is - the valve closes fine but doesn't like opening. I guess it gets sticky and the vacuum isn't enough to open it, resulting in a hunty idle. interesting to see what the formal solution looks like. Not surprised about the failure mode - but some grease would fix that, unless it has worn rough. +1 for using plumbing bits. I have a hard-on for using "standard" plumbing components on cars because if they're good enough for plumbing they'll be good enough for road use atleast in non-fuel/oil cases.. and anyway brass > plastic IMO.
