Forge Valves

Anyone knows the difference between the following 2 Forge Valves?

1) FM207V - Mini Cooper S and Peugeot Turbo uprated valve - (Listed for $250)
http://www.forgemotorsport.com/conte...product=FM207V

2) FMDVR56A - Blow Off Valve Kit for Mini Cooper S R56 models - (Listed for $280)
http://www.forgemotorsport.com/conte...oduct=FMDVR56A

They both look the same to me. Could (1) be the diverter valve and the (2) being a new valve that combines the diverter valve mechanism along with their Blow Off adaptor?

I am looking to get the diverter valve and the replies from the Forge customer service seems confusing to me. So if someone has knowledge about this issue, I would really appreciate their help. Thank you so much in advanced.

The bottom one is an actual BOV, you can see the holes drilled into the bottom. The Forge diverter valve is solid all around the bottom. A BOV will more than likely cause your car to throw a CEL and run rich when the BOV Vents.

Actually, I have cleared it up with Forge as well and they have confirmed that while the FM207V is the Diverter Valve, the other one is indeed a Vent to Atmosphere Blow Off Valve which works like the Diverter Valve. I guess this is a new product from them then since I haven't seen it before!
