Beware The Greddy Rs!
I liked the valve a lot as there is very little flutter and it holds well even at 28 PSI. Do not run this valve if you are using methanol!!!! Greddy gives you no warrantee when the diaphragm turns to dust and it will in short order. There tech support guys claim they never heard of the problem and have no plans to do anything about it. A new diaphragm is over $80 plus shipping for a part that will just fail again in a few thousand miles.

No I didn't have the valve before the meth, I can only assume the meth caused the failure. Either way there is no replacement from GReddy under warranty, yet there website states this. They don't even want to see my valve.
. ""Warranty You Can Count On
At GReddy we take our image seriously and back our products with a real warranty you can count on. In most cases, after examination of the item we will elect to give you a complete new product as opposed to repairing a defective one. We do this for two reasons, first of all to make you a completely satisfied customer, and secondly and warranty items are fully examined to find the cause of a defect and if necessary make running changes to the product line in the future. This is why GReddy maintains one of the lowest warranty claims percentage in the industry.""

Has GReddy taken care of any of them?

Never even bothered since these were second hand units.
I will never buy another Greddy BOV again.
When they are new, they work beautifully and hold boost great. But when the diaphram breaks down, its just not worth it to replace it.

I've searched on this and found nothing about it. So there whole line of BOV's are junk?
