Default ATI Surge Valve!!!

I got my SC last week and yesterday i went through the parts. I did blow some air in the Surge Valve and i can feel the air coming out from the other side!!! Now thats Air coming from my mouth so i cant imagine how much boost im going to lose through this surge valve!! Did u guys have the same problem with the ATI Surge Valve?
Also is there a better Surge Valve that would be a direct replacment?

I used a turboxs bypass valve, picked up a little boost. Had to go to advanced auto and find a radiator hose that would work but it was simple enough. I was more afraid of the ATI valve falling apart and getting sucked into the blower. There is a pic of it on my cardomain site in my sig - you can even see the part number for the hose..

doesnt sound any different then the ATI, it goes back in the airbox so its not loud. If you ran it open instead of going back into the airbox it would be a lot louder..

With a blow through like the ATI it wont cause any problems - not that you will notice. Only problem I had was there are a lot of dusty streets around here and it would blow around a lot of dust. I got sick of the noise/dust and just ran it back into the intake.

H-34 is the model number, bought it on eBay from a user named fasterthanthem - got it in 3 days and the guy e-mailed a week later to make sure I was happy with it. He always has a few of them listed, it was ~140.00 if I remember.

If you have an M6 and run over 10psi I would probably go with a mondo or ATI race bypass but this is plenty big and seals 100% as opposed to the stock ATI valve..
