help with #16 check valve
Hello guys,
I did a boost pressure test today and found a few small leaks but found a huge leak with the #16 check valve. Basically, as I pressurised the system and I had a ton of air coming out of the drivers side inlet pipe connector before the turbo.
I did some research and found that the #16 check valve often fails. I also read that the limit of the OEM unit is 18psi. Thus, some people use a Mitsubishi check valve but I don't see any part numbers. Is there a better alternative to the OEM #16 check valve?

^1 yeah, i swore after yesterday and intmd8"s continuing issue, i'd never mention that little bastard of a valve again but here we are again. but it'll bite ya. 20 dollar plastic part. it cracks whether known or not. creates an intake ( duh ) system leak and/or boost issues. hard to isolate without a pressure test and can often frustrate until found to be bad.

Thanks for the reply guys. I did identify that the check valve is bad by doing a pressure test. However, I would like to know if there are alternative check valves we can use that won't easily fail like the oem units.
Thanks
Thanks

hey maybe we could talk ipd mike into it? gotta be at least 300 a year in it lol ( sorry ).
seriously tho... I've never heard of an option, its too cheap but not worth making an alternate is my guess.

I had looked into this in the past, ended up with a stock check valve. I believe these check valves would work http://www.maperformance.com/kracka-...acuum-kit.html
Double check the size and that they would flow the same direction.
