Agency Power Blow off Valve
I found a blow off valve that i am considering and want to know if anyone has prior experience with it.
Here's a link: Agency Power Adj. Blow Off Valve Turbo DSM 1G Eclipse - Modern Automotive Performance
I am seriously considering it because it is pretty inexpensive, and if anyone can give me any input on whether to buy this one or not it would be appreciated. I currently have a 1g bov.

$200 is INexpensive for an item that does nothing to drastically improve the performance of your car? I was definitely raised in the wrong household.

Yea, 200 dollars has always been something I would consider "expensive". And as stated above, you can't go wrong with a Tial, which so happens to have a very proven 50mm BOV for 200 dollars.

I suppose I was the only one that thought of that and didn't recommend the Tial.
If your 1G valve is having a difficult time holding high boost levels, consider doing the Dodge Garage Mod. It will enable your valve to hold 25+psi with ease, and the cost of the mod is somewhere between FREE and $2.50....a hell of a sight better than $200.

So you claim. 
I only just recently switched from a DG modded 1g valve to a Forge unit. Had I realized my issues weren't with the BOV, I would have never moved on.

Just a thought. No big deal I'll just get a TiAL, but I just saw that no one had ever said anything about this one on this site and it would bolt right up to my UICP. Could anyone send me a link to the best place to get a TiAL 50mm?

Welll, that's the main reason why I didn't want TiAL, the side vents make it impossible to recirc. I did see one on a supra that was partially recirc, but the only TiAL I've seen fully recirc is the big bulb/bong looking one. Anyway, I can't find it at any regular vendors, plus the recirc fitting doesn't look like it will line up right which is why I was looking in the first place. I liked the Agency Power one because it would fit my flange (1g) and I was just bringing attention to the product so that I could get an opinion, for all I knew, someone has used it and loved it. Obviously now I won't get it. (although I didn't really get an opinion on the Agency Power bov.)

The 1G will work.
DDG- Talon BOV mod for HIGH BOOST
Now you don't even have to search for it. You can also just plug that hole up with a thick home made gasket. I did on accident, it doesn't like to blow off all that well under 12-15psi though.
