The bosch BOV is a fairly inexpensive solution with a 1 inch flange. They pop-up on ebay all the time:

Also, check out the greddy type S BOV and the knock-off version. I'm not sure which one of the knock-offs has been tested and approved here on this forum. There's a recent thread somewhere that discusses the pros and cons of the Greddy Type S knock-off BOV.

Lastly, check out BEGI. This would be my pick for a BOV under a 100 bucks. I'm fairly sure their bypass valve flange is around 1 inch:

i like my gfb basic bov http://www.gofastbits.com/
also stock 1g dsm is a good valve but you'll need an adapter flange.
stock 2g dsm works fine and will fit perfect but gives up a bit a boost response to the others.

You can hear it here:

Horsepowerfreaks is a distributer of ours, you could order one of our valves from them and have them throw it in the same box.
Or let me know what you want, I'll hook you up on the price and ship it with the post office to save on freight. Probably about 20-25 for priority shipping... still steep but better than the $60 that UPS wants.

On the later-model valves, the port that the side/bottom nipple is attached to is left VTA. It's the bottom side of the diaphragm. Optionally it can be connected to the pressure pipe upstream of the throttle plate.

Shop around for price. I've seen this valve as high as $275. Bassed on my experience it -should- outperform the single piston valves. I haven't actually tried one yet.
I would also recomend the Greddy RS type bov. Not the ebay generic! The RS also uses boost referance to open it.
I have had 2 manifolds, 3 turbos, 4 blow-offs, 2 downpipes, 2 different exhaust systems, and bandaids to stand-alones on my car. Not all at the same time. =) I can say I have a bit of experience with many configurations and came across some problems that they all have in common. One was the 'slight deceleration' compressor surge. That's why I'm hells bent on creating an electronic bov, to eliminate the problem.

I've been using one of these for about six months, since my expensive FM BOV died unceremoniously.

Removed the smaller spring from inside and have been very happy with it.

It doesn't fit directly to anything. You have to build a flange to attach it to your pipes.
On my car, I had previously been using an FM piston BOV, which failed after only a few months. Since that BOV used a fitting that was just under 1.5" I had already welded a 1.5" nipple into my up-pipe. So I fabricated a flange for the new BOV that had a piece of 1.5" tube coming out the bottom, and plugged it directly into the existing tube on my up-pipe.
I don't know what size fitting Stripes' kit uses. If it's a 1" and you are planning to recirculate back into the intake, than simply buy the plastic-bodied Bosch unit as others have suggested. Those can be found locally in nearly any country, since they were used as original equipment by European automakers such as Porsche, Audi, VW, and Saab.
