Link to the one you are talking about? I just want one that is reliable and under $50 for all the cheap people on here.
I too have 38mm Ebay BOV, it works great.
I can make it surge, but only if I purposly don't let off throttle 100%. I did no spring mods, just adjusted it to full soft.

$30 BOV FTW
7:30 in this video, you can kinda hear it a little.

Same as the one deezums run. He is the one that suggested it to me when my crappy hks bov took a ****. It is very high quality for the price. I freakin love this bov. It works better than my gfb I use to have
If it makes you feel any better mine is starting to look purplish blue 
The only downside to this little guy is I haven't found much else that fits this 38mm v-band flange, just this one. If you want anything other than a dull "PPft" I don't think 38mm Vband is for you.

I'd have to go through a lot of $30 BOV's before I consider replacing it with that $300 piece.

38mm BOV and Precision core IC have been ordered. Will be doing some testing in the near future with them.
I have some more pipe on order to get some mid pipes built. Once I get 1 NA and 1NB mid pipes done I will be sending them off to figure out if it is cost effective to have them completely mandrel bent.
While I am waiting for that I am working on getting 5 1.6 manifold and 5 1.8 manifold weld el's cut. Once they are all cut I will start getting to work on building them.

So just for the record, I have about 2k miles on this turbo kit already and I am still very happy. Just trying to get my closed loop ebc right before I post any more logs. Definitely spools to 13psi under 3 grand no problem on my 99.

I put about 500 miles on one of my new setups this weekend. Right now only have it at wastegate and it definitely does not spool that quickly. I need my local Advance or AutoZone to get in the right size vacuum line so I can get my EBC hooked up and get that tuned.

eBay add claims they top out at 350hp. I am guessing on a miata they top out around 300hp. I have my setup on my built motor now. Hopefully I will get some runs of running ALLOFIT sometime in the future. This coming weekend I have a 1.6 coming out to my house to get boosted. The following 2 weekends I am out of time and busy. So I am not sure when I will get to running ALLOFIT.

I also don't expect 10psi before 3k rpm on a 1.6.
