I just did the Alta this past weekend. I don't think the trouble to replace this was worth it. Getting the damm valve off of the car and back on was a huge pain in the *** and the car feels the same as before.

Really? That's not what I wanted to hear, lol.

Anyone else with positive/negative feedback regarding either of the BOV springs?

Save your money and get a real valve later as a complete valve will hold more boost and react faster.

My Alta DV uprated spring has been holding on strong with my Manic Tune, pushing between 18-22.5 PSI pending Map utilized. I would say an aftermarket one would be better, but also requires maintenance. It's realy up to you. I would make sure I had correct tools and be patient when taking on the DV removal. It's not that hard but can be a pain if you are not patient.
